i got my first set of dual front brake lines but, i didnt get a double banjo bolt with them. Does any one have a part # or know of what other machines it could be under? Gonna try the local dealer and dont want them telling me i cant buy just the bolt.

can't answer you ? but have one of my own...

just aquired a bike that has dual front ss braided lines...was kinda curious why it was like that...is this an improvement over a single split line?

LOL... I cant answer that question either, and Im sorry for posting off subject.

But here it goes, speaking of brake lines, when I recently bought my +7 swingarm the guy tried to sell me a extended brake line for $50. I figured I find something better and cheaper later on and did!

I was working today and thinking of what to do about my brake line when a add came on the radio for a hose and rubber shop, I called them and later that day I had a BRAND NEW extended brake line with polished ends for $30, and it was right around the corner from my house.

It took them 10 minutes to make, worked out great and looks SWEET. The radio does good things sometimes...lol.

Just figured Id share that.

do you know if this will fit the 400ex? I live in Canada and have a race coming up so i need it fairly fast. If i have the proper dimensions i can search around more wildly.

I can guess but you would need to double check.I "think" it is either 10mm x 1.25 or 10mm x 1.5 You can get bolts of those sizes and see if it threads easily into your master cylinder.The link I posted is not the correct size,it was just to show you that they do sell them there pretty cheap.
