in theory, the front flexi pipes are not supposed to touch ANYTHING from the union of the hard pipe to the caliper, even when the steering is put on full lock either way,

so i would say no to any form of outrigger,

just my opinion of course.

cheers

the rigid pipe would run to a bracket on the headlamp arm, and the flexi from there to the caliper. probably fall fowle of the edge protection rules... Could run the pipe in the headlight tubes thoug and make some sort of hidden braket..

Will have to play when the bones are on.

Mine are 450mm long.
Be aware that the flexi on the rear needs to be a banjo type.
Or a short length of solid from the drum.
Does anyone have a good photo of the rear brake hose fitted? Either with the banjo fitting or short length of pipe? I need to have hoses made as the ones I ordered never came. Trying to decide which style of fitting is best on the rear with drums.
