m671054 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooptiee Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Guns Racing Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 PM sent, I am still trying to find out if that size will work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastrykiller Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastrykiller Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 These estimates are for a roundhouse swinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
