rear brake hose banjo position

[Frosties]

Hiya,
The 90 degree Banjo Union should be horizontal facing towards the rear wheel, the pipe should then automatically be facing towards the front of the bike.
With the banjo tightened up in the position you have it it has effectively shortened the pipe and could put strain on the pipe as it appears stretched tight as it nears the brake master cylinder.
Turning the banjo around will effectively make the pipe a couple of inches longer, as you have it excessive suspension travel could fracture or rip the pipe apart the pipe.
I'm  anewbe in her but have tried to include a photo of my bike with the brake line as it should be.
Hope it works out ok for you .

Tommy - will you stop posting the pic of your mint bike...it puts us all to shame and makes me jealous (got a silver boxeye but want a fox). If you passed your test in 1966 then you should know better at your age than to rub our noses in it  :lol .
