    Hey all, hope that you can help. Maybe I am blind or I just can't read, I am looking for photos of the brake line/routing/bracket for the front left side. My mate is sure that there was some sort of bracket holding everything together, but not sure what it looked like. If anyone could post some pics on this thread or email hectorsmith@gmail.com it would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    Hec.

    Here you go.

    The left side has the actuator for the linked brakes system. It's a fairly complicated arraignment.

    Thanks heaps Deadsmiley, you wouldn't know if there is supposed to be a bracket holding the brake lines (and maybe the horn?) that would be missing from the upper section of this photo:

    It's a lot cleaner than my missus' yellow bike - as seen in the photo.

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. We went for a ride this morning and then had a ton of family over for a cookout. Good times.

    Glad you got it sorted. What was the issue?

    My mate thought that there was an extra bracket holding the lines in at the top, I think he may have just been confused with another bike. All good now. New chain and sprockets this afternoon and a mirror and it's ready for it's registration inspection. Good riding weather for the next 8 months. Want to take advantage of it.

    Ok, you made me look. I took a couple more pics. I never really studied the brake setup before. It has always worked so never drew my attention.

    Left side, where lines attach to the upper portion of the lower fork.

    Looking up through the tripple tree. That's the horn in the upper left.

    Lines going over the top of the front fender.
