Young Guns Racing Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 Anyone got out there got one? Im gonna need one asap for my new +8 swinger. Please PM me or post up. Thanks! Quote
m671054 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Word of advice. measure what you actually need. a line 8" over stock will be way to long. im using a +6 on a 12" arm. Quote
Starwriter Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Depends on carrier type. A roundhouse carrier mounts the caliper on top, compared to the stock style that mounts the caliper on the rear of the carrier. So, in other words, a stock length brake line will work on a +2 and maybe even a +4 roundhouse style swingarm. So, if you're running a +8 roundhouse swingarm, you need a shorter line than +8. If you're running stock style carrier, you need a +8 line. That's the way to tell if Craigslist Banshees, with crappy pics, have a stock style or roundhouse swingarm. Look for where the caliper is mounted. Quote
Young Guns Racing Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Posted July 18, 2013 Interesting, didnt quite know this. I will measure and fine out for sure. Thanks for correcting me. Seems i will probably have to shut this thread down and start a new being the topic is misleading Quote
Hooptiee Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 I got 1 from a parts lot I bought, it measures approx. 29 1/2" long. I don't know much about it the package says Galfer and it looks used. It has 1 copper washer and banjo bolt. Quote
Young Guns Racing Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 PM sent, I am still trying to find out if that size will work for me. Quote
Pastrykiller Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 A plus 6 measures around 24 inches straight from the master to the caliper. 26 should be fine for a plus 6 and 28 to 30 for a plus 8. These are only estimates. Quote
Pastrykiller Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 These estimates are for a roundhouse swinger Quote
possum Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 I was givin a +10 line on a +12 arm and its long but works. a +8 line would be better. I buy lines by the measurement needed not what the box says.. Quote
Young Guns Racing Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 I got one! Thanks for the help guys! Always good to have the knowlege. Its appreciated Quote
