Blue spot calipers brake line question

[wakdady]

So I'm ordering custom stainless lines. What is the angle bend on the blue spot calipers? I got the lengths needed from another post so I should be good there. Oh, and the angle for the clutch line too.

Lastly, is it worth it to do the rear line? Other than the fact that its old, I don't really see a reason for it.

I don't know the angle but this might help, from my 98 new to me front end with blue dots.

Looks like a 20 degree offset. Cool

For my '92 with blue spots, the Spiegel(?) FJ set worked perfect and has two lines master to caliper...  real nice hardware.  The caliper end has a slight angle that fits the mounting location very nicely.

I didn't do the rear, I don't feel a need.....  Under max braking, the rear is very light, maybe even off the ground, so the only time I use it is at a stop or to settle the chassis going into a turn. I feel that the spongy rubber actually helps in that I don't lock the rear wheel as easily...

While very true that the rear is pretty light under max braking, under all other circumstances the rear (for a 600+lb bike) can be quite useful.   Do the rear line as well.  The rear is quite powerful on an FJ, ...and... the bling factor will make you feel better!

+1 what Austin said.... Those oem rubber brake lines are long, long over due for replacement.

Change the rear, if you still like the spongy feeling then don't bleed it very well.

Ok the question is whose brake lines to buy and who has them, so many choices. Witch is the best place to buy? What are the best lengths, ends and twists. Also any other tips. Should we replace the piston seals? Thank's for your help.

That's how she is right now, last time I replaced the brake fluid, actually every time, I leave a little air in there....  I'm quite happy with the way it works and don't plan to change.
