i picked up the nissin master cylinder for my kz650 and i'm trying to finalize my brake line order. i've decided to replace my dual lines (and splitter) with 1.

this is what I came up with...

10x1.25mm Single bolt
35 inches in length (from MC to caliper)
0 degree banjo at MC
90 degree male fitting (10mm) at the caliper (galfer fk728c)

this is the stock setup on my caliper (notice the 90 degree male fitting/steel line)

any comments or opinions? thank you in advance.
 
I think my old '78 kz650 (single disc) had a soft line (hose) running all the way to the caliper.

Pretty sure that's not your question, but I'm just saying you probably don't need that odd piece of hardline- might simplify things.

I'd get a nice braided stainless hose made up to the dimensions you need and lose all the extra fittings/parts.
 
the picture is of the stock lines...i'm trying to order a stainless line from galfer to remove the rubber and hard line, but want to double check the correct fittings I need.
