Hey everybdoy, I've been stalking this forum for about 6 months now and this is my first post! (I think)

I picked up a 1989 CBR600F from my a friend for 200 bucks. Only problem was a fried fuel pump. I picked up a universal pump from AutoZone for 40 bucks with the same LPH and psi and I was back in business.

I was missing the lower fairings, and I think my bike looked like poo, so of course the logical apprach was to streetfighter it.

So far I have an R1 race tail (I think hotbodies, got it secondhand from a friend) and an R1 seat. It has a chinese knockoff Acerbis Cyclops headlight setup.

I'm trying to attach Fly Racing 1010 Carbon Steel MX handlebars to my 1989 CBR600f and I need to extend the single brake line between the reservoir and where the line forks to the calipers. I've already got risers and the bars in the mail.

I only need a few more inches. Where can I find some? Do I need to fab my own? If I do need to fab them, does anyone know what fittings are needed?


Also, I'm looking for a way to fab a license plate bracket for the left side of the swingarm. Any ideas?


Thanks guys! I'll have a build thread started soon!

 

i bought a brake line set up from this guy on ebay they make to ur specification (lenght, fitting types, color) all for less than 50 bucks
HONDA CBR600F HURRICANE CUSTOM STAINLESS S BRAKE LINE | eBay

make sure to get a double banjo bolt so u can de-link the brakes

heres the details of my order so u know what fittings to use

1. fittings: #1,#3
2. length: 31" (inches)
3. angle: Type C
4. color: red

PERFECT!

I'll order from him. I think I can just get away with one line (Master cylinder to brake line tree on the front forks). Do you know the stock length of this line?

I admit, I was hoping not to wait and order when I got home

 

11 inches i believe,
i still recommend getting rid of the link and just ordering two lines and a double banjo makes bleeding bleeding ur brakes way easier.

 

+1 to red's comment. Less points to fail and easier to get the lines with the correct fittings.

Redmason could you post a pick of what the brake lines look like de-linked?
Thanks,

First I think those look great and I really like the double banjo replacement for the link. How do you feel about the length of the lines? Are you going to tie them to the forks so they don't stick out as much? Did you get a new line for the rear caliper?

Also how long did it take to pull the engine? My frame is in desperate need of new paint but I can't decide if I should dive all the way in and take it all apart or just mask of the engine and spray it in place. Sorry for all the questions and thanks a bunch for the pics they are very helpful.

 

looks good should be the perfect lengh when you add the bars, I hate the single line so I'll be doing the same when I add risers, thanks for posting it.

 

Great Thread, i vote this should be stickied.
