Got my front brake line in today from MA'S CYCLE(running dual lines off the master cylinder) along with extra washers. Now I can mount the Metzler 120-90 front tire and not have to worry about the crossover line when I raise the fender......Angelis

I would do it with a junction block under the lower trip tree. Probably on the headlight bolt or somewhere in that general area.Woul;d cost a little more due to the need for 3 lines instead of 1.

Need some pics when you get it together. Are you stacking the lines on top of each other and using a longer banjo bolt?

I was thinking of doing the same angelis. Let us know how it turns out. I was wondering if you could use the fitting at the caliper to replace the one at the master cylinder?

First, I thought about using a junction box but I wanted to keep it simple.
Second, all I needed was the extra line and new washers. The double banjo bolt on the left caliper will be used at the master cylinder while the banjo bolt from the master clinder moves downstream.
Third, I'm going to use a junction box on the bike i'm building and powdercoat it with the fork legs.......PS, I will post pics when I'm done........Angelis
