+4 swingarm brake line length

[87sheerips]

I have heard that a +2 braided line will work for a stock carrier +4 swinger. If not, what should I get??

 

Also, how many link chain will I need. I have searched and seen 116 to be about right

yea that should be right. you may just have to run the cable a little differently. if youre not sure get a +4 cable. i know a stock length braided cable will work on a roundhouse +4 or even a +6. reason being is that on a roundhouse swingarm the brake plate sits more on top of the carrier as opposed to out back like stock is set up..

I put a +4 on my son's and its a little long but it still works.On my bike I put a +2 on when I changed the swingarm and It fit alot better..

I had a stock line on my bike with a +6 swingarm and went with a +1 stainless line when I upgraded.

JD are u using a stock carrier or a roundhouse??

 

if your using a stock carrier your gonna need atleat a +6 for your +4 arm.

 

 

im on stock carrier setup with a +6 and i got a line for a +10 and its only a inch or 2 too long.

the stock carrier takes a longer line then a roundhouse does.

 

on the stock carrier the caliper is mounted further back then it is on the roundhouse.

Good Point, I have a round carrier.

Damn, well ive always head that a +4 for a +4 stock carrier swinger is too long. Ill go with the +4 line for now, hopefully it will be fine...

Here is a couple of pics so you can get a idea of the lenght you want.If you buy a +6 you will have to tie that s.o.b. in a knot....

+2 brakeline on a +4 swinger both swingarms use stock carrier

I've got a brand new +2 galfer if you're interested. I installed it but didn't like how long it was on my +2 roundhouse so took it back off. Never had fluid in it and I'll ship it with new washers. PM me with an offer.

Well that +2 line seems to fit perfect. whats up with all the confusion on these lines, cant they come up with a standard??????

I bought one of these +1" braided lines. Don't know how it will fit for your application but they are cheap enough at $9.99 + $5.25 shipped!! Clear coated and the shop selling them is Earl's Fittings...a well respected AN fittings retailer just blocks from my home. Friendly people there...
