This is in regards to a 1992 K100RS, 16valve. Well, I found a leak in the brake line from the rear master cylinder to the rear ABS module. Of course, there are no lines in the country (USA) and I'd have to order it from Germany.
I've read around the forum and found a few custom brake line websites. I'm currently looking here: http://www.venhillusa.com
I'm thinking of changing the connection at the rear master cylinder to a banjo connection. It's the only one on the bike that isn't a banjo connection. Would that be okay to do? If so, I'll need to get the correct size banjo bolt for it. I read around the forum that the front brakes are 10mm banjo bolts, but only read in one spot that the rear master cylinder is 12mm female thread. What size banjo bolt should I look for with what type of thread?
I've got a line ready to order but need to select banjo bolt size, which, on this website, is only available as 10mm or 3/8". The options are: 10mm x 1.00 Single-length, 10mm x 1.25 single-length, 3/8 x 24 (UNF) single-length, 10mm x 1.00 double-length, 10mm x 1.25 double-length, 3/8 x 24 (UNF) double-length. I'm not sure any of these will fit the rear master cylinder.
Also, is it the same line as the k1100 has? Would this work? (top right, part number 22144S.) http://www.motobins.co.uk/displayfinal.php?q=109&s=0&subs=109&model=K100&title=STAINLESS%20STEEL%20HOSES
