Yea swaged ends and prolly a bit of cheapo crap stainless sheath, but they prolly wont be that bad. Measure and I guess 15 degree banjo's should work on both ends.
So I guess I am gonna stop trying to make em, unless these turn into total sheite ... cos the ones I made will cost 40-45 minimum with all goodridge/galfer/earls (aka the good ones).
Cool.

I'd recommend going with Russell instead if you have an E model. It was $37 shipped to my door. May be less if you don't have to pay CA tax.
Got it from these folks. I called 'em first to make sure they had 'em in. They didn't, but they ordered for me.

$26.95 + shipping (+ CA tax if applicable)
Just a heads up that their website is hard on the eyes.
those don't seem to come with banjo bolts. will the OEM bolts work?
Bolts are mated to your m/c or caliper, banjo's have a 10 mm diameter and the bolt does too, 1.0 and 1.25 are the thread pitches that are common on them and their length is specific to the master cyl/caliper.
Cool.
Buddha.
Yup, I just used my old bolts. They do come with new crush washers.
What lengths are needed for the 500E?
You cant be this lazy ... measure your bike ...
Cool.
Buddha.
Oh, I can be that lazy!!
I figured there was a factory spec'd length that folks might know.
Fine, fine, I'll measure it up...
Buddha told me around 30"
Yeah, I measured mine to be 30" for a stock 500E.

I need some of these for my Kat FE.
Just an update:
Ordered these up a while ago.
Finally got around to installing them yesterday. :technical:
The both the front (15deg/15deg) rear (15deg and 0deg)fit well.
A minimal twisting of the front line was required, and the lines are thinner than the stock ones.
No real problems though.
Got them setup and bled the air out and they feel great! :thumb:
I'm not sure if it was the new fluid, or chucking out the 11 year old rubber lines, but the brake feel is much better!
So if you were waiting for a guinea pig to take a gamble on these consider it done.
As an aside, for the Canucks, it's a Toronto company... no international shipping or duties. :woohoo:
Send me questions on these if you got 'em,
