New brake and clutch lines

Thanks for posting this, Mr G. It's great when you find a good product and a good supplier. I like the sound of those banjos - a bit of adjustability would be a boon for achieving a perfect fit.

I'll bookmark this for future reference.

Yes it makes all the difference to be able to order with confidence. So long as you order the correct offset banjos, it's just a matter of carefully rotating the ends to get the lines to sit perfectly. Rather than do this on the bike and risk straining the banjo bolts or even breaking a casting, I put the banjo in clean soft jaws of a vice and grip the ferrule firmly with a good set of pliers and rotate, They go quite easily but you do have to "mean it".

There are lots of standard lines listed if you go to the OHA shop on eBay from the link in the OP, which come with the correct fittings for the bike in question.
The stainless banjo bolt with bleed nipple for the clutch is a thing of joy.

The big question is; will this keep my clutch fluid clear???

BTW, is there an Elephant in the room?..

And I'm not talking Cagiva..
