    Does anyone have an DIY for 3 gen Braided lines and can the banjo bolt be doubled up at the master cylinder? ( I am trying to avoid a copy of the stock configuration that runs the lines across /behind the front fender, for simplicity's sake.)

    I have a set of galfers that ship with a long master cylinder banjo bolt and go direct to each of the calipers. Most aftermarket kits ship that way

    Check Galfer, HEL etc

    I replaced the stock front brake lines on my 6th gen. with a two line set up and a dual banjo bolt Davey. I had my brake lines custom made for me by HEL Performance.

    HEL Performance makes a two line front brake kit for your bike. The kit includes all the banjo bolts and washers you'll need to install the kit.

    That sounds really good...I am going to check them out.

    Do you know if they come with the stainless or aluminum fittings?

    Thanks!

    All banjo bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel and there are 19 different color hose coverings for you to chose from. The transparent color hose coverings are particularly nice Davey.

    The reason I want to do the swap was to extend the brakes for a Heli bar or a tubular bar mod.

    I realized I will need all 3 lines: the 2 brake lines and the clutch line as well.

    thanks
