I can never find the screwdriver I need. This would be sweet!

I requested a quote from Spiegler, still gotta figure out what fitting I need to go into the hard line though...

I probably didn't do enough research but I thought I saw someone using this size bore with the setup I've got. If the stainless brake lines will help, I'm not too worried.

So did I, but the websites I'm looking at for custom lines ask for either internal or external, and thread size. I'm not familiar with AN fittings

Doesn't the stock master cylinder have a 16mm bore?

Thanks for the links Gary! It looks like the fitting that goes into the Hardline is an M12. Can anyone verify? Also, i imagine it's external threads?

I'm starting to like the idea of replacing the brake line. I went for a quick ride and the fluid on the master cylinder was very dark. I can stop hard, but the lever will be almost all the way back to the bar. Can someone chime in and help me figure out what end I need on the bottom of the line...

Do you mean to do this before connecting lines? Before I installed it I filled the reservoir and cracked the banjo bolt until I got fluid coming bout. I remember initially seeing bubles come up out of the MC when I started bleeding. The only reason I didn't think the MC was the problem is that...

This is not my bike, but this is the fitting I have going into the caliper. Not sure what it's called but it's not a banjo bolt

Good luck explanation Gary, I'm starting to wonder if that's what I'm experiencing. When I actuate the brakes, I hear some "creaking" coming from the caliper. Is this the issue you're describing? I figured it was just a bleeding issue because the brakes worked fine before swapping the master...

In my previous reply I meant to say the master cylinder is new, not the caliper. I mighthave to take another look, because there seemed to be a male fitting going into the caliper, like you'd see on a car brake line. Where do people like to get their stainless brake lines from?

Thanks for the replies. I've been thinking about replacing the brake lines with one line, what is the kind of end that I need to go into the Hardline that runs in between the fork and the wheel and to the caliper? I can't seem to find a hose with an end that will fit. Also, the caliper is new.

Alright, I'm getting almost nowhere. I've attached a picture of my current bleeding set up. I've tried the usual method (pump and hold, open bleeder, close bleeder, release), I've tried pushing fluid up from the caliper, sucking fluid down from the reservoir, nothing seems to work. I can pull...

So I just got an eBay master cylinder to put on my bike, 1/2" bore. I'm having some issues bleeding it, I get nothing but fluid from the caliper but it doesn't build up enough pressure to light the brake light until almost the end of the handle travel. I'm assuming I'm trapping air in the...

Darn, I was hoping I'd find a smoking gun. I made a spacer out of a nut similar bro what you did, 5twins, and it helped but there still seems to be plenty of free play.

Just pulled the cover off, and the ball is there. It probably sits about 1/8" below the top edge of the boss it sits in. Is that normal?

I guess it's worth a look! I never messed with that assembly too much, what is it supposed to look like?

Does the worm gear assembly need to be removed for this to happen, or just the side cover removed from the motor?

Thanks for the input guys! It's a newish cable and I would be surprised if I bought an incorrect one, though it could happen. I have some new levers and perches on the way so I'll see how everything fits with them and then maybe try the spacer idea.

I know there are plenty of threads on this but I couldn't find what I was looking for. If this has already been answered, please just point me in the right direction. I've got a '75 mild cafe, with clubmans. I have what I would consider to be too much (or almost too much) play on the clutch...
