Front brake line Q's for an 01 Jackal
« on: December 12, 2016, 03:12:35 PM »
Looking for a front brake master cylinder to convert my Jackal to dual front discs. The question - should I use one brake line for each caliper from the master cyl, or one line from the master that then splits to each caliper? This stuff is all new territory for me. Before I spend money on brake lines I thought that I would ask and see what might be the best way to go. Thanks.

I Use a 3/4" (19mm) Nissin radial m/c and a splitter down on the bottom tree.

I ran one line from M.C. and one line from the right caliper to the left over the fender.  Use the long double banjo on the right sight and the regular length on the left.  I used 2 90 degree/right angle banjo's on the over the fender lines.  Looks good.  I do not remember which m.c. I used.  I used a Brembo brand though.  I can check when I hit the garage. Works great with the oem gold series calipers.  Good feel.  Do not use an oem from a dual disc guzzi, they had linked brakes and are the same bore as the stock Jackal.
