Wallrat Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I bought a +2 brake line to go with my +2 roundhouse swingarm. Logical thinking right? Well the damn thing is like 6" too long! After searching I realized that the caliper gets moved fwd. on a roundhouse so that explains some of the mess. But still man...I've got a damn zig-zag of brake line back there now. So what's the deal for the fronts? I have to order a set of those tomorrow and I've got stock length arms now, but will be changing to +2's later this year. Are they gonna be extra long as well? Incidentally, anyone with a +4 or +6 roundhouse wanna buy a never-had-fluid-in-it brake line? $30 shipped. Edited July 17, 2007 by Wallrat Quote
racer Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 Matt, when I bought mine for std length arms they fit like a glove. If you route them logically you will have plenty of slack to allow proper wheel travel, with no chance of them getting caught in anything. That said, I highly doubt they will work for +2's, so I would order that length. Quote
shanYE west Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 i used a +2 on my +8 roundhouse swinger. I tried to put it on my cousin's bike with a +6 stock carrier and it was way to short. The brake caliper location is different from a stock style to a roundhousing. Quote
Snopczynski Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I have a +1 brake line from ebay on my +6.5 swingarm. Quote
knight_ripper Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 i bought +2's for my front end. and they too were way too long. I had to put a loop in them and later rerouted them. I felt I could have ordered stock length galfer's for the front end and would have been fine. get +1's to be safe. Quote
Snopczynski Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 You should have ssen how long the galfer line was that I orignially ordered. It was a +4 and it was ridiculously long. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I thought CFM on here bought the equipment and was selling those lines at cheap prices?? Then again, a few members here are experiencing loss of money & no swingarm from him Quote
No Limit Powersports Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 If you have a honda style carrier thats why. You can get by with a 4 inch shorter brake line than you need on the stock carrier cause the caliper is up on top instead of on the back side. Quote
