How are you all restraining your braided lines?

Post by jetblack » Sun Jul 08, 2012 6:58 pm

I've fitted braded lines recently but as they have a smaller diameter than the stock lines, the standard hose guide is no good.

So, how are you all tying your braided lines out of the way?

I've got a zip tie on there at the moment but it is a little unsightly and i'm worried about it rubbing through the lines.
It don't matter if i'm fixin' it or ridin' it.

I normally replace the OE bracket with rubber lined P clips, stainless ones. Cheap enough and they have an M6 mounting hole. Perfect :peace:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Yep thats what I used for the front and used the original rubber grommet type things for the rear, just squeezed the clips a bit to secure them, didn't look that great but works. You can, I believe, drill holes in the swing arm front and rear and thread the hose through. Personally I couldn't be arsed with that but I'm sure it looks better
