brake line routing through swingarm

Post by Spike16 »

tried the search thing but couldnt find much

I bought a rear braided brake line off riley a while ago but it has been sortened for routing through the swingarm, so i dont really have much choice, do i :)

so anyone who has done it, where should i drill, how big should the holes be and is it simple? especially with keeping the swingarm attached to the bike (please say yes ;) )


pictures welcome

Can't you just use the old one to pull the new one through?
