This is for a 99 x1, is there a way to make a stainless rear line? Is there one available? the problem is the rear brake pressure switch is located in the line, and I can't think of another place to put it. I usually just use earls plastic coated brake line and stainless banjo's on all my bikes, which is cheaper and in my opinion better than the off the shelf stainless lines that I have seen. But I can't thing of a way this will work with the X1. | ||

I have looked also and haven't found anything. I also w/ like a set of SS T/I cables. Ever see those anywhere? | ||

That's amazing, both American Sport Bike and Storz don't list anything for the X1. I just put the one from American Sport Bike/Goodridge into my M2, it has a little stainlees little barrel about 6 inches from one end, used to screw the stoplight switch into. So that's not the problem. I would have expected the later M2 one to fit the X1 as well, but I sure don't know. But I have seen banjo bolt adapters that have a separate like 'T' fitting specifically for the brake light switch. (Message edited by jayvee on September 12, 2007) | ||

just get banjo bolts and braided line from goodyear and make your own. simple as ramen noodles | ||

The issue is with the brake line switch. What kind of fittings would be required to implement the switch without creating a rats nest. | ||

That's Goodridge. It's a Brit or Euro company. They've got lines from about 2" to 72" so you can hook up almost anything. Also you can get them with or without the plastic coating. My advice is to run the plastic coating because if you don't they abraid anything they come in contact because of the bike's vibration! Custom Chrome and other vendors stock them. | ||

I forgot to mention you can get an adaptor to plug in a pressure sensor switch in the line. I've got such a rear setup on my M2. | ||

I put Sato rearsets on my old Honda 919 and they supplied a pressure switch that goes either where the banjo bolt goes or in-between the bolt and the master, I cant remember which. It was nice and clean and worked well. I'll see if I can dig up more info. | ||

Looking at my XB service manual (I don't have one yet) the XB uses a banjo bolt switch. Keeps it in the family. | ||

I took a brake line to a local place called Hose Supply, they made one up for me. I didn't tell them what it was for. They asked - then said, "nevermind" when I told them it might be for a motorcycle, or a tractor... Something about liability I suppose. -Mike |
