r1150GS rear brake line BANJOs ANGLES.

[metallic_lt]

Hello,

I am going to order braided rear brake line for my BMW r1150GS ABS 2001 Brembo Calipers from this site:

What the banjos ANGLES? 45 or 75 degrees?

Many Thanks.

The answer is the same angle as the OEM brake lines on your bike - looks like ~45 degrees on my 2000 R1150GS.

The real answer, though, is this: if you are going to ask questions like this, then you need to stay away from your bike with tools.

Also, you need to have ALL of the original rubber brake hoses replaced with braided steel lines, not just the rear.

Thanks, GSBruce!

I listened both your advices and ordered 70' banjos ...

70' worked, but 45 would be better. GSBruces know what he is talking about ... except his "real answer" that sounded more like a question
