Motorcycle Brake Line Components

The Critical Connections: Motorcycle Brake Line Components

You’ve picked out the perfect length of brake hose. Now it's time for the most important step: connecting it all together. These small but essential motorcycle brake line fittings, banjo bolts, and washers are what create a reliable, leak-proof, high-performance system. Getting these components right is what separates a professional job from a dangerous failure.

Choosing the Right Components for a Leak-Proof System

A brake system is a puzzle where every piece must fit perfectly. Here are the components you need to understand:

• The Banjo Fitting - It's All About the Angles: This is the ring-shaped connector that attaches to the end of a brake hose. The key is choosing the right angle (e.g., straight, 20°, 35°, 90°) to ensure your brake line routes cleanly away from the master cylinder and caliper without any sharp bends or kinks.
• The Banjo Bolt - The Heart of the Connection: This special, hollow bolt secures the banjo fitting, and its hollow core is what allows brake fluid to flow through. You must match the thread pitch (e.g., M10x1.0 or M10x1.25) to your specific master cylinder and caliper for a proper fit.
• Crush Washers - The Most Important Small Part: These single-use seals are non-negotiable. A fresh pair of crush washers is required for every banjo bolt to create a perfect, high-pressure seal. Never reuse them!
• Ready for the Hose? Now that you've selected your fittings, complete your custom setup by choosing from our full collection of stainless steel brake lines.
