rbrown99 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Hello, So - I am refitting my barbax on my r1150rs - this time with a new stainless steel brakeline from Bob's BMW... which is 2" longer than the original. (the stock one was OK, but it did seem to put a little more stretch on the line when the bar was fully turned). Does anyone have one of these installed (and may have a picture?) - the part # is #SS34327663753+2. The new part has different bends which leads me to believe I have the wrong part - or I am just doing something wrong... tried different configs, but not happy with the routing. I haven't zip tied it yet, but here's what I have: (hopefully the images will come through): Edited June 22, 2017 by ezgizza99 Link to comment
AnotherLee Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 ezgizza99 - It looks to me like you have it reversed. That bleed fitting goes at the bottom. Link to comment

As far as your new hose routing goes, from your pictures that looks pretty bad but I don't see how swapping the hose ends or hose angle will change much. I suggest that you call Bob's BMW (or use their on-line tec help chat line) maybe they have an answer for you on the routing or possibly different end fittings to use. Link to comment
rbrown99 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hmmm - That's interesting, since the original fitting had the bleed/fitting with the grub screw at the top... I have an email into Bob's for some advice as well. Thanks! Link to comment
rbrown99 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 @dirtrider - thanks - I have an email into Bob's for some advice..I'll look at the lower line attachment as well. Cheers! Link to comment
Ld2002rs Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Ezgizza99, I too was considering the barbacks on my 02 1150rs, do you have a pic of the lower line attachment block you speak of? And are there any other lines etc. that have to be re-routed? Thank you! Link to comment
