i just dont want to spend too much money, ive got like 20 left in my account so i cant buy a new line :\. Drunkn Munky said he will check his garage for a connector for oem line, if anyone else think or know they have one that they can sell me one id be happy to buy it.

Well, no offence, but you've clearly not spent too much money on this line, and now you need to spend more to sort out where it's left you! Which unless the thing was free is now going to work out at more than the cost of a new one. Plus the fact that it's on old rubber hose means it's likely to be well past it's best, and even if it's OK now, it'll need chucking in a skip at some point as rubber ones have a limited lifespan - braided ones don't, unless they get damaged. The original braided one on my bike somehow managed to rub on the metal hose guide on the hub pinch bolt... :s

well i bought it from Jetblack on here. i thought it would come with the connector and stuff. but it never and i didnt contact him about it, but i payed 13 for it shipped :\ and no connector came, a bit disappointing really.

That hose came to you exactly as it came off my bike. Whats there to be dissapointed about?

[xivlia]

well i cant use it. there is no connector? i thought the connector from my aftermarket hose would be usable for this hose. but its not, i suppose i should have checked before buying. its okay, im not dissapointed in you or anything, im just dissapointed that i cant use the hose without another connector, which will delay my MOT which in turn will delay me riding the bike

Your bike would probably fail anyway thus postponing it further,
I knew my bike was perfect for mot, I go over it with a keen eye so its doesn't fail picked up 2 advisorys and a fail.

Don't sweet it cancel or postpone the booking they can't charge you for cancelling.

If you have the original hose why don't you put that on?

Porndok, the MOT tester here arent strict, my bike passed it last year, with a lot of problems... and there are less problems now.

Neo, im trying to put the oem one in, but dont i need some sort of connector, that goes onto the adapter on the reat caliper? or does the oem hose just screw directly onto the adapter on the caliper?
