What are the thoughts on using a front brake line set up off of an RSV for the front brakes on a 1st Gen. (1983)
It seems like it will work to me, but I would like to hear from the voices of experience out there.
I got a set from Pinwall cycle for $18.00 shipped and it looks like it will fit.
This came off of a 2000 RSV. If nothing else, lines are 17 years newer than my 83 has on it.
Pictures below. Last picture is of one caliper ends and the master cylinder end.
I will need to fabricate a bracket to mount the coupling unit.
The hose lengths look OK
The angle of the master cylinder fitting is off some what. That may create a minor problem where the cover goes on under the handle bar riser. This is not a show stopper though.
The caliper angles on hoses appear to be workable.
The front brake lines are one of the few things I don't have off of the bike at this point.
I have not measured I.D. of the ends of the hoses to check for a match yet.
Is there any thing inside the center coupler unit or is it just straight piping?
One the rear master cylinder, can I just block off the port that the line to the front comes out of, or is it more involved ?
