then the two hard lines from the small junction block
on the right side of the frame just forward of the fuel
tank ( “Left” and “Right” is defined while sitting on
the bike.)

supplied in the kit, noting the orientation of the bolt
hole, and reconnect the factory hard lines to the
corresponding locations.

calipers and remove the brake line assembly.

Using the supplied banjo bolts and new crush
washers, install the new lines onto the proper ports
of the distribution block, with the angle of the banjo
fittings directing the lines outward

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not allow the master cylinder to completely drain of brake fluid at any time during this process. Doing so
may require removing the master cylinder from the vehicle for bench bleeding. Also, use care when handling brake fluid, as it can
quickly damage finished surfaces (paint, plating, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may result in
poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
7. The double length banjo bolts will be used on the
right side of the distribution block where the
incoming lines from the master cylinder and from the
small junction block will be stacked on top of the
lines running to the right side caliper
(Fig. 2).
8. Connect the remaining two Russell lines to the small
junction block and master cylinder as labeled. port
“A” to small junction block, port “B” to front brake
master cylinder on handlebars.

attach the lines using the stock guide brackets
located on the right and left side of the fender.
10. Disconnect stock brake line located on the front
down tubes of the frame leading to the rear master
cylinder. You may need to loosen the top of the
radiator bolt to make your disassembly and install

frame, located behind the radiator).

mount of the battery box. This is needed to access
the rear brake line junction block. Pull the battery

located under the seat. Disconnect the banjo bolt,
clamps and bolts located on the stock soft line and
hard line and remove the complete factory rear
brake line. You will need to assemble the new
stainless steel braided brake line to the stock hard
line before reinstalling the complete rear line on the
bike
(Fig. 5) due to space limitations.

of bike (right side shock, swing arm, etc.)

banjo bolts and Russell crush washers. Bleed the
