How the hell am I suppose to route this rear brake line being this long? Has anyone else installed a steel line in the rear and if so, was it this long and how did you route it? Seems like I need a bit shorter? I can put a big curve in it near the master cylinder but worried it might contact the tire…

I’m an idiot. We’re all thinking it, I just figured I would say it.🥹

I looked at some pictures of the stock brake line and realized there was a loop in the back lol. But don't worry guys I got it! 🥳.

Lucky you, no ABS.

I cannot tell you how terrible routing the ABS lines was. It just didn't work well at every turn. But its in there, and I am never going to do it again unless the lines are about to split open or explode. Lol.

I know, everytime I'm putting steel brake lines on something i thank god it isn't abs lol. Routing them is one thing, bleeding them properly is another thing I hear.

Indeed. You need a ton of fluid, gotta bleed it like as fast as you can since the bubbles will rise and get stuck at the pump, and then when you think you are in good shape, go to a gravel lot and just mash each brake a bunch of times and bleed again. At least.

Lol. When I assembled my GSX-R brakes, even with 2 calipers and the 2-line front setup, it was still so much easier, no ABS. I like ABS, but man it sucks to change lines.
