In the process of changing lines on my 09 FXDC at the weekend I noticed the brake line included in the Burly cable kit I have has a different sized banjo fitting to stock at the m/c.
Shown in the pic versus stock bolts.
If I’m going to get a new line made up, what size banjo fittings/bolts are at the upper and lower ends on the 09?
Master cylinder fitting should be 7/16" and caliper is 3/8".
Great, thanks.
The bolts included with the kit are indeed those sizes, but the banjo is a smaller outside diameter than stock (hole diameter is the same). Is that an issue?

I can't see why the outer diameter would make a difference. I didn't catch that's what you were referring to.

Sorry yes you answered my main question about the bolt sizes.
I just wondered if the smaller banjo fitting was a problem, it fits, obviously, it’s just the surface area on the m/c where the washers/fitting mount up to is slightly larger. I’m possibly being paranoid, if it was any other part than front brakes I’d have given it a go already!
