I just won a pair of risers for my zx-6r, but I will need to make sure I get longer brake lines. Anyone know how long the stock brake lines are?

not sure, off hand .your gona have to measure it manually. i think the stock brake lines have a little slack.

forks look like a pain on the ass to remove, are you putting the new clip on holders yourself?

I did the same thing w/mine and got Galfer ss lines for the front. The rep I spoke to made a custom set for me which were 2 inches longer than stock (he knew right away how long the stock ones were). If I did it again I would go w/ only 1 inch over stock as they are a little long.

what kinda of risers you get?

so 1 inch over stock would be perfect?

I got the Gen-Mar risers. One inch over should be just right, I think
Galfer was right on w/thier stock measurement.

thanks...

Genmar didn't make them for the 02 model....

you must have a pre 2000 model right?

anyhow, my riser are suppose to add 1.5 inches, should I still go for 1 inch longer line or be safe and go with 2 inch longer...

I'm getting the two brothers V3 Risers....

Yeah, I have a '95. I was just looking at the lines again, my risers are less than one inch, and it looks like 1" over lines would've been just right. For yours I think going 2" over would definately be the right fit.

 

[Andy_7676]

thanks....

better safe than sorry,,i will go with 2 inch....

p.s.

did the riser help in comfort? you know keeping the weight off your wrists?

Yeah, it did make a big difference. I can ride many more miles now before my arms/wrists get tired. Now I just need a better seat, and I could ride forever!

 

[Andy_7676]

cool, I'm looking into a corbin seat...

plan on doing some touring next season to Deals Gap and such so I want to make my bike as comfy as possible....
