Banjo brake bolt

[Larry D]

I've spent the last hour reading threads concerning ss brake lines. I want to have a double banjo bolt at the front master and connect both front lines to it and eliminate the splitter.

Which one? 3242-8 or 3242-9

Or does someone have a better (and by better, I mean less expensive) place to get a double banjo bolt?

That's kinda fun to say...double banjo bolt....

I am trying to remember from memory, but I was thinking one of the bolts on the splitter was a double, ... I could be way out to lunch on that though.


Just checked the image on bikebandit, looks like one of the bolts on your 81 is a double, should be able to just use that.

I think you're correct

I think I did read that. I know it's only a bolt, but I'm a little hesitate to reuse a 27yr old bolt. Also, when I do this, I would like all nice new parts and pieces.

New is always nice, the price on bike bandit for the double is like 3 bucks, probably get one from a local dealer pretty cheap and easy.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I didn't even think of local dealers.

I know it's 10mm, how about the 1.00mm or 1.25mm ?

It might have had the specs on one of the bolts on bikebandit, you would have to check it out to be sure.

I think the prices went up some.

I would use the one on the splitter. Clean it up with a dremmel or something. Use new washers though.

your looking at aftermarket, check out the OEM part, the actual suzuki part is like 3 bucks.

My mistake.

You know, you guys are right. Think I'll just reuse the splitter double banjo bolt.
It's still fun to say though.
Thanks

hehe, I have "Dueling Banjos" going through my head!

10mm x 1.00mm.

Good luck with your brake line replacement

Sounds uncomfortable

Now all I have to do is figure out the rest of the components I need. I'm going to make them myself.

Thanks for the "Homemade SS Brakelines" thread Nessism.

Seems easy enough. Getting the right banjos and such is a little confusing to me. It should become more apparent after I take the old ones off.

The back looks like a challange. But like a good friend told me once.."Inch by inch, anything's a cinch"
I would've used millimeters there but it doesn't rhyme with cinch.
