Curvey 'S' brake hoses fit 'N'?
 

Will braided front lines from a faired curvey fit a naked curvey or would they be too tight?

Cheers

Generally speaking no, they would be too short.
But it depends on who made them - many aftermarket hoses are none too accurately sized.

Have a pair of Goodridge hoses - replaced them with Hel when I raised my bars.

don't know what brand the braided lines on my S are but there's loads of slack, they'd be fine on an N

Re: Curvey brake hose.
 

I think it depends on who made them. My Goodridges have about 10mm of slack on them

Ive just got some second hand ones that were on a curvey s. If they dont fit when they arive ill sell them on.

Im going to need a double banjo bolt for my naked,s master cylinder as the lines are the two straight to caliper type.

Just had a look at my master cylinder and it has 3/8 on it. I take it this is the banjo bolt size i need??

No it is metric

What does the 3/8 refer to then?

Ahh right, what does the 3/8 refer to? And how do i find out what size banjo bolt i need without taking the original out?

Might be a 3.8 grade bolt.

Anyway, definitely metric, M10, can't remember what pitch offhand, 1.0mm or 1.25 maybe

3/8 isn't the master cylinder bore is it?

. . . other uses for this are ( allegedly ) available ;)

Re: Curvey 'S' brake hoses fit 'N'?
 

Ah yes, it is the bore.

For some reason I got it in my head that 3/8" was written on the bolt...

Re: Curvey 'S' brake hoses fit 'N'?
 

Not so sure, Chris: Haynes gives bore as 15.8mm which is a lot more than 3/8" - sorry!

Re: Curvey 'S' brake hoses fit 'N'?
 

Engaging brain now, the bore of normal SV one is 5/8" or 15.88mm and they have 5/8" cast into the side of master cyl.

Strangely the next one down is actually 14mm.
