Matts Yokes 998cc Comfort Kit fitment

You want a couple of mm of side ways movement where you can see the cable coming out of the adjuster by the engine side.
You dont want the cable too tight so it wont relax when throttle rolled off but not slack so bugger all happens when you throttle on, just nice the best way to describe it.

Disclaimer...
My terminology may be incorrect, but i know what i mean

BTW, Badger i took double that time, i didnt rush tbh, but i couldnt do mine in 2 hours, brake bleeding took at least an hour if not more.

an hour to bleed the brakes ??? take 15 min on the standard sv stuf

Im not the only one who had problems, its common, especially after changing the lines as well.
Just when i thought id got it, more air appeared, i was doing it manually though with no bleed device, just old fashioned method.
I also got rid of every trace of the stock fluid and put dot 5 in.

I have done many cars whole systems in less time i must add, 4 wheels.

Speaking of breaks, I got 2 lines, one slightly longer than the other. The longer one I presume is for the nearside disc.

On one end, each of the line's head is slightly angled. Is this the part that connects to the master cylinder? Should the angle point inwards or outwards.

Sorry for asking so many questions (obvious for many of you) but want to do this right. The bike starts to look pretty awesome as I'm getting close to the end

I wouldnt know about yours cos i got mine elsewhere.
Offer them up and see what looks the best and most comfortable in terms of looks, function etc.
Mine werent perfect on mine i had an angle where i probably should have had a straight but it worked fine, just got on my nerves a little bit keep looking at it.

My lines were a right faff. They seem about 5 cms too long so I had to make a clip, and buy a connector from goodridge. Brake lines were defo the biggest pian in the ar5e for me when doing the conversion.

Lol ... when I was thinking I'm almost done ) Managed to connect them somehow to remain flexible but yes, they look a bit too long. Bleed time now ...

Told you. Its a right royal pain in the back side. You need to get them just right of they will rub on the forks, or the fairing.

I'm gonna wait till I get the yoke and bars fitted then measure what length brake lines I need.

How did you guys decide what angle to have the bars at? I was thinking just 45 degrees to give the best height and reach...

I just sat on the bike with them semi loose and moved them until I got the most comfy position for me. I tightened them up and THEN drilled them. I also doubled check with pics off Matts website that I hadn't done anything real daft that put them miles out of their intended position
