That's what I was looking for, thanks. :grin:
Just had a new swingarm arrive today to prepare for the rear hub mod that should be happening at some point so thought I'd do this too while it's all off. :up:

A lot of people on here simply route the brake line through the swingarm body as it hides it, looks neater, and possibly makes it easier to clean the swingarm, but its mainly a style thing!!!

The rear brake isnt very good so most people replace it with a standard length braided line which can either be routed the same as the standard rubber line or through the swingarm with 2 drilled holes and rubber grommets added to help seal the hole and protect the line.
