skydoc_17 Posted October 11, 2009 #2 Posted October 11, 2009 Hey Thom, Thanks for the kind words, a lot of calculations went into the VR to R1 Brake Swap to make it as easy as possible. If you are talking about the brake line that goes from the double banjo to the front Master Cylinder hand brake, I have that line in S.S. in stock. As well as the two lines that go to the calipers. Those lines really improve the function of the R1 Calipers and give your bike a "sporty" look. If you are interested in them PM me. As Thom will attest to, the pics and written instructions really make this job easy. Thanks again Thom, Earl
capn eddie Posted October 12, 2009 #3 Posted October 12, 2009 i delinked mine and did the R1 brake swap and i really like the way they work now much better stopping , all thanks to skydoc
skydoc_17 Posted October 12, 2009 #4 Posted October 12, 2009 Hey Ed, Did you do a re-paint on your 87'VR? Man, that looks great! Did you do that yourself or did a Pro do it?! Hey Ed, I'm not sure how you connected the VMAX double banjo splitter to the stock mount on the front of your VR but I now make an adaptor bracket in stainless steel with all of the hardware that really cleans up that area nicely. If you are interested, PM me and I'll send you a pic. Nice job on the swap and the paint, and thanks for the kind words! Earl

skydoc_17 Posted October 12, 2009 #7 Posted October 12, 2009 I have attached two pics of the Double Banjo Splitter Adapter Bracket. It is mounted with two "Shock Absorber" mounts so you don't get any pulsing from the brake lines when you grab a handful of front brake. Earl
