Brake line length??

[Tommo1988]

Basically I'll be fitting renthal bars on a naked yoke to what was a sv650s. Would ordering a standard sv650N set of racing lines do the job?

Cheers guys

Should do, although custom length ones could be the way to go.

Fit the yokes, measure with a bit of string, add a bit to account for suspension travel, which is what my local shop did for me

[Tommo1988]

Yea there is that option just need to find the time when I don't need to bike for work to fit it all and measure

[maviczap]

Aye, I appreciate that, if its your only form of transport

[Tommo1988]

Yea it is I might order the naked likes and ask them to add 5-10cm on just to be safe maybe

[Bibio]

after market lines usually are a tad longer anyway.

[Tommo1988]

Iv just ordered naked lines with extra 10cm :s worried now lol

[Bibio]

10cm is loads when you are talking brake lines but if routed and clamped properly you should be fine.

I ran four inch risers and had custom lines made up that were about 15mm longer than standard. You should be fine depending on what risers you are using.

Good luck and do let us see photos when you are done?

Yea I will. I thought it best going to long than being too short. I'm sure if there ott shirt then I can find someone who can take a few cm off. Yea pics will be posted I'll try and capture it all.

[maviczap]

Too long is better than too short, you wouldn't want the line popping out of the banjo whilst you're riding

[Bibio]

to long can be bad as well as it rubs on stuff.

[maviczap]

Yes, but you can usually stop that with a cable tie or two
