Clip-Ons and brake lines with ABS
Hi Everyone,
I've started doing track days whenever I can using a 2015 which was built to Canadian Lightweight specs. It has good suspension parts, stock engine internals with PCV and slip-on. The PO tucked the front end at Mosport (turn 5) and the stock handlebars are tweaked. It's been okay up to now but I'm thinking that clip-ons would be a nice addition and help me in my learning process. The bike has Hot Bodies race bodywork. I think others have had an issue with brake lines (too short?) but what I'm wondering is whether or not anyone has identified exact replacement parts? My difficulty is that the bike is not close to my primary residence so any work of this nature requires that I have exact parts on hand before I leave to work on the bike, so I'm looking for help in this area. Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated! |

clip-ons lower the bars, so if anything the brake lines will be long.

you probably going to run the banjo bolt into the dash.
move the dash and dremmel the hot bodies and the clip ons will go anywhere. if not your going to run them high. and not have much adjustment. for a 300 anyways. |

I was wondering about clearance to the fairing. I might replace the handlebar with a stocker...
Here's where I read about the brake lines: https://www.kawasa***************/fo...ons-w-abs.html |

if you get vortex and put them up against the triple, they lower a little, but not enough to have to cut anything.

Thanks, I'll look into these some more. There's about 2" difference in height between what's on there now. You can't really tell when riding but I noticed the difference when towing the other day. I thought the front wheel was cocked over but it was in a chock!
