Title: 76 (ok how about 96 then) California Brake Hoses
Post by: Kiwi_Roy on January 25, 2016, 05:31:03 PM
Anyone have a set of these laying around, My brother Kevin needs some. he can get them made up $100 for a rubber $200 for a braided I thought someone might have them laying around or know who stocks them.
We can't get to look at the bike at the moment so need to know if it's a fit for that model. Its a 96 California

Hi Roy

Greg Distributor's will make exact copies for cheap. I got six made for around $250.00, 1 day service.

76 ?????

Looks identical to the 96.

I made mine from SS hose parts.

Jim, the trouble is we don't have one to copy, He's in Taupo, the bike is in Auckland.

He's done a phenomenal job rounding up a pair of bikes for our New Zealand trip (Ross & I), I thought getting some hoses might help even the score.
I don't see them at MG Cycle

Who are Greg Distributors, I'm not familiar with them.

Thanks Wayne, they were still string and sticks back then  :boozing:

As I said earlier the trouble is getting the dimensions, banjo size, angles etc.
I thought someone may have parted one out.

That's $100/$200 for one hose BTW

Update, it seems like just the LH front needs replacing with a braid, if someone could tell me the parts I need and a sketch of the angles involved I will try to source them here in Vancouver. We need the screw on variety I guess, haven't done hoses before.

Thanks

Roy

Goodridge has pre-assembled kits.  Not sure if for that bike but had them for my 89 Mille!

If someone has one of these bikes a picture of both ends of the Left hand hose would be most appreciated. hose length end to end, what size wrench fits the nuts etc.

Thanks

find a local shop.  Bring them the stock lines.

They'll make stainless lines for a about $40 per.

or just order them from Harpers  $175

Greg's is a massive distributor of all things auto / industrial, they have branches in BC.

I have some extras made for a T3, not sure they would be the same for your bike, if you think they would work I could send the front pair to you.

probably the same as a 98 EV, I might have old used rubber take off's .. do you need the whole line from the splitter under the saddle to the caliper?

I just bought a complete set from Harper's for my 90 Cal III touring. Speigler sent hoses for a 94 Cal III.
Curtis had em make good on it, I sent my hoses and they duplicated them and the are BETTER than stock as the OEM rubbed the fender.
 They are purdy, too!

That's what I'm talking about  :drool: Any Guzzi would be proud of a set of those. Thanks for the link I will sent it off right away.


Thanks everyone for all the input. Sorry Charlie, Two Checks, I missed your recommendation, I guess LowRyter finally got my attention.
