F3 is 95-98 right?

MotorcycleSuperstore doesnt have Steel Front brake lines for it... blah

**Dip Dungles** · 03-05-13, 02:47 PM

Had the same problem when I was ordering my lines. Called motomummy.com and they got me in touch with Goodridge. They made me a super bike line with r6 caliper threads, gsxr mc thread and gsxr length. All for the same price as their normal kits.

**tsorfas** · 03-05-13, 02:57 PM

word! ill have to try that and hope i guess. thanks shannon.. unless i get lucky at the hawk forum.. i just dont want to waste any more time

**CBR929RE** · 03-05-13, 03:20 PM

all you need to know is the length and banjo bolt size. the bolts are probably 10mm witha thread pitch of 1.25. talk to moto-heaven.com if its a stock F3 front end then just order the kit off the site. all you gotta do is pick your colors, they'll get you the right length and right banjos.

are the calipers and master cylinder stock F3 parts?

i dont know but i believe so

Figure out the length of the line you need and then make it. Goodridge makes lines with screw on fittings at many different lengths and then just get the banjo bolts you need with the angle youre looking for. Its pretty simple. Its what Im doing for the motard this season.

Agreed.

The difference though is that Chuck's done 19's.

I have some spare SS lines kicking around. How long do yours need to be? And dude... all this has been done before, ask on the Hawk forum. ALOT more info specific to Hawks then here on NESR.

Oh and like Jim says, just ride the fing thing!

But Chuck was like that WAY before he did 19's.

Pfft, try 748! those were not designed to be worked on by big hands.

Hmm, now I have to go back and check it again... could not be any worse then when I started: intake 0.0 (none of the gauges would fit) , exhaust .30+

There's a guy in Chicopee that makes custom braided brake lines, he did some for me. Makes 'em right in front of ya, in and out in 30 minutes tops. Competively priced too.

Want his digits?

**tsorfas** · 03-06-13, 10:59 PM

Yessir! Thank you! Come get that stand from me

**jbmass** · 03-06-13, 11:04 PM

Haha, will do. It's on my list of things. I'll text you his number in the morning, gotta grab it off my desk.

**CBR929RE** · 03-07-13, 05:11 PM

ordered them just over a week ago. +2 inches over stock. red lines with blue stainless steel banjo fitting.

I also have some old Galfer lines in perfect condition. you can have them if you want. I took them off my 929 a few years ago and they are too short for my 600. measure how long you need and I can measure them to see if they'll work.

**tsorfas** · 03-07-13, 05:26 PM

you rock brett! fo sizzle

**tsorfas** · 04-02-13, 02:16 PM

fairings are painted. will be mounted this coming Saturday and the bike will be safety wired and good to (I think).
still in need of spare wheels and front stand...

**tsorfas** · 04-02-13, 02:18 PM

**Chippertheripper** · 04-02-13, 02:30 PM

I thought to myself, it's a hawk, how much uglier can it get...?
Then sav showed me.

Edit: needs more duct tape!!
