Problem with Hel lines, possible Master cylinder mod?
 

I attempted to fit some Hel braided line to my sv, when i got to the master cylinder i found that the double banjo bolt they sent me has the wrong pitch to my master cylinder, it has the same pitch as the calipers' bolts. so i got a new one sent out to me and its the same thread! my bike was previously a cat c write off and has a mark on the frame, i am unsure what damage was done now, the bloke said it was dropped and had some damage to the tank, pegs and bar ends, the left bar end being bent at the bolt! anyway, my caliper says nisin 3 on it. any ideas?

is it defo an orignal sv master cylinder you have?

Master cylinder is a different thread to the calipers so don't worry there, it appears you have the common braided hose line issue where HEL and Goodridge sometimes send you the wrong double bolt!

its not a different thread and im not sure its the oem cylinder, it says nisin 3 on it and thats all

how come yours say nissin 1 and mine says nissin 3?

You might not have an SV one on, secondhand bike? Even so I would expect the thread to be different (finer) on the master cylinder than on the calipers.

Yes, second hand and it was a cat C so i'm guessing that the master cylinder was replaced when it was repaired. i am getting the correct double banjo from hel, i took it to work and found its an M10 x 2mm

My k6 also reads nissin k3 and is the original master cylinder
