Brake lines
Hi,
I bought new brake lines ( Venhill ) for my SV650S 2001 . The rear one was absolutely perfect . I went to do the front and noticed the line is much longer. I have been told this is definitely for my bike , am I being stupid here ? I’ve tried everything to upload images here but it’s not working! Here are links https://postimg.cc/tYcb5GyC https://postimg.cc/Btbrbw9T |

I don't recall the stock setup, your new line will go from mastercylinder to caliper - did your old one or did it go to a splitter somewhere on the front of the bike?

On the Venhill packaging it does state Suzuki SV650S 1999-2002 . My brake lines go up and into the splitter like you say. |

Or if you've been done a bit you can run to one caliper and buy a cheap short one to run from one caliper to the other but you'll need different banjos foreach caliper and I can;t imagine it's worth it.
