Title: anyone know the banjo bolt sizes?
Post by: J_Walker on March 28, 2018, 12:02:26 PM
Front caliper mainly, having to order longer lines for these ape hangers.  [not really just taller bars!] don't wanna pull them off his bike to measure them just encase he comes to pick it up to ride it around. 2007.

I think one of the front ones may be a 1.25 pitch. Worth getting two 1.00 and one 1.25 before you dismantle.

As user11235813 mentioned, when I did my brake lines on my 2006 GS I found that the front master cylinder and front caliper had different pitch banjo bolts.

The master cylinder was a finer pitch than the caliper, but I was sent the incorrect bolts (see attached).

Not 100% sure, but M10x1.00 and M10x1.25 sound correct.

Pretty sure the rear caliper and rear master cylinder are both M10x1.00

I suppose I could just re-use the OEM ones anyway. I ordered M10x1.00 if its wrong ill contact them and have em send me some 1.25s my way.
