Russell performance brake lines

[Motorcyclemodeller]

I agree!

Go to your local hydraulic store, one that fixes hydraulic lines for backhoes and escavators etc.

Here in Ontario the big chain is Cisco. (Hydraulic Equipment & Supplies - Yellow Pages)

The braided line costs about $10 a foot and fittings are $12 each..CDN

Get rid of the junction box and run two lines off the master cylinder, with this method you need:

6 fittings for front and rear without Antidive
10 fittings for front and rear with Antidive

and about 10-12 feet of line

The differnce is night and day, also eliminates that fear of bursting a twenty year old rubber brake line under severe conditions.


This method is good because you can always replace a part if something gets damaged, not possible with premade line sets.

I have 20 year old braided lines, but they perform as good as new.

The master cylinder/caliper combination bneeds improvement to get the brakes really working...but it may be enough for that skinny front tyre!!!

Russel speedbleeders

back again
Inoticed the item called a Russel speed bleeder and i cant seem to find where to buy them for a motorcycle --can anyone assist me please

Sounds like a good idea doesn't it. I purchased a set for my 1100. They bleed as stated, but continue to bleed in high temps. By that I mean they leak. I found the add in a cycle mag, from a company in Daytona Beach. I'll see what I can find.
