    Brake line lengths

    Does anyone have the lengths for all the different brake lines and the angles of the fittings for the stock set up on a standard (81H)? I've got a local place to make me some new lines but don't have the originals to go from. Thanks.

    I don't know what you'll pay for that, but XJ4Ever has the kits made up and they fit perfect, no hassle.

      I got these measurements from Randy:
      Standards: Specials:
      Hose #1 16” Hose #1 20-1/2”
      Hose #2 22-3/4” Hose #2 22-3/4”
      Hose #3 22-3/4” Hose #3 22-3/4”
      Hose #4 19” Hose #4 19”
      These are center-to-center on the banjo's. Banjos are 30 degree angle and angles are 180 degrees opposed from each other.

      81 SH in parts

        Hi JS,
        XJBikes has kits available. Members here assisted him by providing samples of all the lines.
        If you have a local guy take the old ones off and have him duplicate them.

          Awesome, thanks for the help everyone. I ended up getting the two front lower lines redone locally for $70. They did a great job!
