    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.

Easy brake line question

I just recently completed a full brake job short of breaking down the MC(new piston, lines, cleaned, painted the calipers) and now everything is back together. Since my front end now is not stock I had to take a good guess about the front cable using a string and I might have gotten it a little too long. If you look at the picture now everything is routed and looks good and fits, but my question is the brake line when coming from the MC goes up, then back down to the banjo bolt. Will this cause a problem? Does it need to go to the side or down when leaving the MC?

Thanks,

That's why I prefer to make my own lines. No guessing on the length. That loop won't hurt anything, just might make bleeding a little more difficult. No big deal.

Just for kicks you might want to try looping the line over to the other side of the headlamp.
 
I tried that but its a little too short so this is the best fit so far. As long as it won't cause a problem then I'm good.

Now I have to figure out if I'm rerouting everything (clutch cable, ignition wire, choke cable, throttle cable) the way it was before I started the build because some of the cables are hitting the handle bar stop tabs and gotta feeling its not supposed to go that route. Do you know of any good threads with pictures of where everything routes through the frame on the front end? I couldn't seem to find any good ones. Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the routing threads, not sure what I was searching before
