Re: braided brake lines - Disorderlypunk - 01-02-18
thats why i have the handbook saved so i can refer to it for everything,
was ment to go for my race licence this year but its been put on hold as i havent moved yet
maybe next year (or do half a season practice if i get sorted)
Re: braided brake lines - Disorderlypunk - 01-02-18
ok so it turns out wez did get back to me very quickly, unfortunatly my email decided it was junk and didnt let me know lol
so im guessing between the two youtubers (me and matt7chunk aka suffolk rider) its a race into making a vid on how they fit lol
holy crap ive got even more to do on that front end after recent headlight and speedo issues ---- F**K

As it happens these are the lines i bought for mine but my bike isnt on the road yet, looking forward to seeing your review on them

Expected delivery date 10th of Feb, but I got hermes email this morning already so I reckon wez had a set (standard size) for the fazer already made up , so should get it before that date.
Went for the 2 line front setup, so need to decide where to route the Speedo cable (usually mounted along the splitter overline) any ideas from 2 line users?

Do it! It'll be one of the best things you ever did. I raced with BEMSEE from 2007 to 2009 in Powerbikes, it was awesome. Best way to be terrified and excited at the same time. Be warned, it's hugely addictive.

Replaced my front a few years ago with HEL two lines direct with a longer double banjo which got rid of a few ounces of weight which was the splitter which is an ugly looking steel bar.

14.22 BRAKES For machines fitted with two front disc brakes, a split of the front brake lines for both front brake calipers must be made at or above the lower fork yoke
there are some bikes with the splitter underneath the lower yoke so its prob just a 'do em all' solution

LOL. We certainly are. However you have the edge. I nearly searched for the relevant clause in the ACU handbook, but didn't. You however........................ :lol :lol :lol :lol

Happy to be put right with this one! For any interested parties you can download the ACU handbook here-

Re: braided brake lines - Disorderlypunk - 02-02-18
i will say also check the Race organisers (pdmcc for example) rules aswell as for some unknown reason some tracks/clubs have rules that are not in the ACU handbook (it sounds nuts i know but thats racing)
if you think the ACU handbook is too big to read what ever you do dont get into rallying the MSA is larger and much harder to read
Re: braided brake lines - Disorderlypunk - 06-02-18
what a pain in the arse that was
if i did it the old fashioned way i would have been fine but decided to use my old 'one man bleed system'
after a lot of messing around and nothing going to plan i found out it was broken doing it the old fashioned way it went great
- will invest in one of those vacuum systems at some point
Re: braided brake lines - matt7chunk - 06-02-18
Lol I just fitted mine yesterday but gave up on bleeding the fronts , the rear went well and bleed easily but no joy on front , vacuum pump in the post now , sorry punk totally forgot to measure the standard lines
Re: braided brake lines - Disorderlypunk - 07-02-18
no worries mate i forgot to measure mine aswell and what a ball ache -i made my own vacuum pump in a way that i dont show in the video because it is just unsafe for human consumption (i cant describe how without opening up to rude jokes) - mine actually seem a bit long to be honest but if i do a front end swap it might be to my advantage

Re: braided brake lines - Disorderlypunk - 07-02-18

Re: braided brake lines - matt7chunk - 07-02-18
