Rear brake hose length after shock swap?
Im going to be swapping the OEM shock to a ZZR1400 one fairly soon and while Im at it, I thought I would replace the standard rubber brake hose at the back.
I have heard that you need a longer hose if you do this shock swap. Is that the case? If so, what is the length of the standard hose please and how much longer must a new one be to cope with the slightly taller shock? Many thanks |

Re: Rear Brake Hose After Shock Swap
as Y_C says it wont need to be any longer and aftermarket ones usually come slightly overlong anyway. it's the routing of the line that people mess up so think they need a longer line.

Re: Rear Brake Hose After Shock Swap
Cheers guys, thanks for the info. I guess a normal braided hose kit will do the job then.
