Hi

I have had CBR600rr calipers fitted for a while now and have noticed the brake lines have 'swelled' near the master cylinder (standard cylinder). So I bought new goodridge lines (standard 2x line NC30 ones) as its due for its MOT. I let my mate fit them who is a mechanic... (bad idea)
He has 'bent' the banjo bolt to fit the angle of the caliper which has spilt the lines (Very off) and are useless now (a nice waste of 60 squids).
Anyways does anyone know which lines to fit, e.g size, bonjo angles etc and where to get them from??
Also should I change the master cylinder to a R1, SP1 to compensate for the calipers?

Cheers
Anthony

get some cbr600 or blade lines as the banjo's are different...

also, well worth investing in a m/c and lever to suit as you will have spongy brakes otherwise.

Your mate sounds like he wants sacking from his mechanics job..very slack and dangerous of him to bend a banjo..not the safest bit to start *Censored*g with!!
