Default Front brake line change...

Hey guys,
I changed out my bars and now need to run a new brake line a little longer. Can anyone help me out who has done this?
I bought a Magnum 48 inch line where the length is perfect. The issue is my bottom banjo fitting is 10mm or 3/8 and the upper master cylinder banjo fitting is 12mm. I though that both were 10mm, but I was obviously incorrect. Has anyone else changed out the brake line like this and ran into the same issue? Can you verify this is how yours is setup? I have been trying to do some research and cant find any documentation anywhere showing the size of each banjo fitting from OEM.

Thanks!

The chart tells you what to get based on year and model. Then you add or subtract based on your needs.

did you test fit you existing hardware? the sizes on M/C and caliper is not going to change banjo wise. the head size may change, if some were supplied with the line

my dyna had 12 point heads, i reused them. saved the new s/s stuff.

The size of the bolt head should make no difference. The size of the bolt and pitch of the threads does.

Re-use the old bolts with the 4 new washers, done and done.

Yep, exactly.


And just to confirm, the lower caliper bolt is smaller on the bolt head.
