Brought a set of stainless brake lines for my FZ6 which came as two long lines obviously meant to the joined at the master cylinder and run to each front caliper. Also short on for the rear
Went to get them fixed today in the bike shop and he wouldnt :eek
The OEM brake line goes from the master cylinder to the nearside caliper where it is bracketed and then over the mudguard with a clip with a short brake line to the offside caliper where it isnt bracketed
He says that if he fits the twin lines the offside one will flop about as there is no bracket and may cause an accident.
Seem to recall when I had them fitted to my old FZS6 they just used a couple of zippy ties to hold the two brake lines together and it was never queried on subsequent MOT's etc
Any advice from bike mechanics out there? :o :\
