    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

77' GS750 rear brake lines?

I have been looking into replacing my brake lines with stainless steel ones. The front seems easy enough but the rear has two separate brake lines I would have to replace, connected with some sort of steel pipe. I looked around but haven't seen this mentioned and I am not sure how to connect the lines to this pipe (no banjo, looks to go straight in).

Can I replace this setup with just one line?
 
Hi,

Sure, I don't see why you can't just replace everything with one nice stainless steel braided line. The only trick I see would be fastening it in place somehow. I guess that would be the cover, #6, that holds it in place?


Thank you for your indulgence,

Yeah fastening was my main concern, I figure having it hit the rear tire might be bad.

That cover is there. One side of it seems to trap the pipe between the cover and the swing-arm, without much clearance, the other is just in the air. Would I be okay fastening it down on the brake line even if it compresses a bit?

Thanks for the help!
