The screws are the same thread/pitch and will swap out.. I'm wondering if this is possible, for better clearance while putting on my HB?

It looks like the banjo is a tiny bit too long.. could i cut a few threads off or shim the banjo out? leaving on the road for work for 15 weeks tuesday, want to get some riding in before then.

thanks

o ya it's a brembo

 

yes it can be and has been done.

 

I figured as much - now do you know how to accomplish it?

 

you know there was a time when people would try things without asking, i really miss, but then i really wouldnt get to talk half as much **** as i do.

i.e take the banjo and bleeder screws out swap them and if it doesnt work, switch them back and go on riding the way you were previously.


if i remember correctly (which usually i do), its just that simple (just swap them)

 

haven't been riding yet, just got the brembo in the mail from a friend today.. I tried searching, but if you type "banjo" or "bleeder" or any variation of those, it comes back with a fuckton of irrelevant ****.

I already swapped the screws after the first post, but it *looks* like there's too much of the banjo exposed bc the bleeder hole tapers off and the banjo doesn't.

I'm at my moms house but i'm about to head home (where the bike is & i'll be able to test it out)

will let you kno.. thanks homie

 

ya its missing crush washer, but still looks too long...

 

so ******* add another one or grind the bolt down (just make sure you clean it thoroughly before re-installing it).

 

is stacking crush washers ok? thought it may lead to leak in the system.

I wanted to shorten it, hence my asking in the first post.

 

Are you sure thats a FINE thread pitch (1.0 pitch) banjo bolt? It looks like a 1.25 and that will **** up your Brembo if you tighten it.....The brembos use a different bolt thread pitch then most other brake parts....

 

It's the one that came off the lever..

i don't see why it'd thread in all the way and then bind up if it were a different pitch...

 

i swapped mine around 8 months ago and never had a problem

 

hm. maybe this one's just long for some reason? i'll try and pick a lil shorter @ the store up and see how it goes. Hoping i can ride some sunday/monday.

 

+1 it works fine.

 

thats funny. I remember the time when you could post something on a forum without some ******* replying like a d-bag. Of course thats just you and you cant help it but hey there is always room for change. Take the ******* out of your responses! oh by the way.....nice 12 bar.....lol

 

whats funny is that i dont remember asking for your opinion. i was just making a general statement. y2kmk and i dont have any problems and if you read his post in its entirety instead of just bumpin your gums, you would have seen that he evens says thank you. stop being a crybag and mind your own business.

 

Yes Sir!...

 

lol... and yet another ******* retarded post brought to you by zride

 

hey **** you, you ******* **** 50outlaw. :YEAH
