Another Bar Riser and Hose/Cable Routing Question

[Dave78]

I've put my bar risers on (approx 40mm back and 20mm up) on my 2007 GSA.

The electrical cables are no real problems, there is enough slack that I've got there to go from side to side with no issues.

The Clutch Hose, looking at the length of it, I'm fairly happy I can get a bit more slack at the bar end to leave that as it is.

The Front Brake Hose is very tight on left turns. Now I understand I could drop the fork leg and route this hose on the outside, but to me it seem then on a right turn the hose will get very bent as it returns into the bike.

So who has just dropped the forks and moved both hoses/cables? Have you had any long term problems with this.

Or to replace the front brake hose with alonger one. Anyone who what the length of the existing hose is and where I'd get a slgihtly longer one from?

Cheers all

Fit a longer brake hose.

Easy to work it out get a bit of wire or flexible tube put it where you want it then you can measure n buy new

As above ........

I have double risers on my '08 RT. Took pipe off and sent it to Goodridge asking them to make one 6ins longer ........ far far too long!

They may even have your standard length in stock to use as a pattern

Fit a longer brake hose.

This is my preferred option. I see that Hel are allowing you to order up custom hoses online.

Anyone know what the end fittings are either end of the hose?

To be honest I think about 20-30mm will do, but will see what the tube/wire/string says tonight.

You might get away with a solid extender tube with original hose.

I have .... it took five minutes to do and cost me nothing. That was 40,000 miles ago and everything is still ok

But if you want to piss about having new hoses made then spend the time fitting and bleeding them then feel free to fill yer wellies
