mrmatt Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I plan to extend a swingarm for the bhq roostfest but I don't want to have to change brake lines. So how many inches can I add? Thanks Quote
00BANSHEE Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Stock worked with my +2 but had to change when went to a +4. Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I use a stock line with a plus 2 and i sill have alot off line left with travel. Quote
Meat Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I have a +2 stainless steel brake line. I'll trade ya if you got a standard length or negative length stainless steel line. Quote
SDD Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Depends on if you have a stock type extended swingarm or a round housing and what kind of brake line you have. A stainless brake line (stock length) will work with a +4 round housing and maybe a +2 stock carrier. Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 You can use a stock length line up to +6. Quote

mrmatt Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 I have a +2 stainless steel brake line. I'll trade ya if you got a standard length or negative length stainless steel line.. Thanks for the offer, but I plan to reinstall my shortened swingarm when I get back East. Thanks for the replies. I can't see 6" of extra length in my hose. Maybe your set up is a little different leadfoot. But it sounds like +2 is a safe bet. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 My swingarm it stock extended to 4.25 inch longer than stock, Rear line is just barely long enough. Say 4 inch max to be safe. Quote
Meat Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Where the best place online to buy custom length brake lines ?? Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 when i put my +2 eyeball swing arm on, i ended up having more brake line than with the stock swingarm. it all depends on where the caliper sits. with my new swingarm the caliper sits more on top of the rotor. you can easily go 2 inches.

ledofthezep Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Where the best place online to buy custom length brake lines ?? RockyMountainATV has std to +6 JamesLuckyATV has std to +8 (I bet if you called they would hook you up. I've had great results working with them.) LoneStar should be able to hook you up as well.
