Has anyone changed to a Stainless steel brake line on an M2. Did it come with a socket for the brake sensor? What brand for a 2000 M2? I see Brake lines but they do not have a socket for it and it is contained in the old line so it cannot be removed. Thanks | ||

I had one made by a hose specialty shop, they used the fittings from the line I provided and just replaced the rubber hose sections with stainless lines. I put some flexible heat shrink over the top of it, the bare braid was fairly abrasive and was going to collect dirt. I forget the exact cost but it was between $45-75, which seems a good alternative to the $99+ shipping option, and I knew it was going to fit. -Mike | ||

You can`t get the stiff wire part and the flexible break line apart, although it looks like it because there's a nut. I put in a whole new Lucas-flex line with an new sensor at the reservoir end. You have to make sure that the line crosses the belt with enough distance never to get any contact with it. | ||

i bought a hel one(for a M2) but it was to short so had a goodridge one made up,saved about 100g fitted a banjo bolt with brakelight switch in it,also fitted a wave rear disk,400g lighter,the result no extra brake power what so ever,though made the bike 500g lighter, | ||

Goodridge supplies quality lines, fittings, and banjo bolt light switches. I got mine thru J&P Cycle. Look into it. If you need more, PM me. Good luck. | ||

You can`t get the stiff wire part and the flexible break line apart It is possible, probable even, that the hose shop cut then flared the pipe for the new fitting, regardless, I gave it to them, they gave it back to me with old fittings. Unlike V74 I have a more functional rear brake now, much better feel and more bite. My stock pads are finally almost gone so I'll try the gold pads before upgrading the rotor. I'll rebuild the caliper when I do the new pads, hopefully this winter. | ||

What will you do with all that rear brake?!?! Cool  | ||

Had to do mine because of Technical Inspection. The old one had rubber worn off, because of contact with the swingarm. Came upon this one, which has the nice feature that you can rotate the line at the banjo fittings with a small nut.  |
