Brake and clutch lines

Can anyone supply the specs for a set of F&R braided stainless steel brake and clutch lines?

I've seen dual front lines that use a double banjo bolt at the master - are these any more difficult to bleed?

Thank you in advance

No Steve.....if anything its easier when the slitter is remover from the equation as there is 1 less item to trap those hard to shift air bubbles.
I've had them on mine for about 3 years now (since the R1 calliper install).

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Thank you Harvey, that's good news.

OK, I'll try and take some string and do some measuring when time allows.

Look liked the measurement was 29" - I'll probably go ahead and order up a pair of 30"ers, plus the ends -

Does anyone know if the thread count is 1.0 or 1.25 at the master cylinder?????

Steve,

  The left side hose is sometimes 1-1/2" - 2"  longer to account for the extra distance from the right hand master to the left front caliper. I have 31" and 33" on my FJ, that includes the ends. I went an inch longer than measured in anticipation of installing bar risers. I used a 15 deg on the master end to bend toward the center of the bike and a straight on the caliper end. I went with a double banjo at the master and it works fine. My clutch line is 43", I used a 15 deg bend on the slave end to clear the alternator and a straight at the master. Do you need a 90 deg twist between your brake master and front calipers? I believe all the banjo bolts are 10mm-1.25 pitch. Holler if you need pics to visualize this!
