    A note to old forum members...
    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Brake Line attachment at triple tree

Hey guys,

I'm at the rebuild phase of my project. I have the brake lines hooked up the way they originally were on my bike. If you were standing in front of the bike, facing the forks and looking from left to right, you would see
brake line to caliper, brake line to m/c, attachment clip to triple, then the other brake line to caliper. So the longer (double) banjo bolt is on the side closest to the m/c.

I was looking through a parts fiche on bikebandit the other day (http://www.bikebandit.com/1980-suzuki-gs1000glt/o/m5985#sch274208) and noticed that both caliper lines were actually separate from the m/c line. You'll see the longer banjo on the side opposite to the m/c in that diagram.

Which is correct? Does it matter? It's all still pressurized, right?
 
The caliper lines are supposed to be split, one on each side of the junction. Sounds like you got it right.
