Title: Clip on handlebars
Post by: pomme123 on April 02, 2014, 09:27:14 PM
So I got them mounted. FINALLY. My god they feel so nice. But I have a problem. The brake line is rubbing on the speedo and I don't know how to remedy this. Can anybody help. Pics are as follow(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/03/unube4u8.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/03/mehagegu.jpg)

Move the entire master cylinder a few mm to the right on the handle bar. The picture shows that you have some room.

1. Loosen the banjo and swing the brake line forward or back a little to fit better

2. Change the brake line to one where the banjo angles the other way or comes off straight, rather than angled towards the gauges.

No room. The pictures a little misleading. The master cylinder is making contact with the throttle housing and that's already right at the end. When I twist the brake line will I need to rebleed it if it leaks or should I be ok?(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/03/ru6y6utu.jpg)

Don't worry. Loosened it slightly. Moved it over. Now it's beautiful. Thanks for your help. Would a master cylinder from a 1990 model gs fit on a 09.

Yes,it would fit.
One that old might need a rebuild, but will fit a little better.
If things OK now, I'd stay with what you have.
Looks good!
