no standard..Also braided lines are as must. Are you running braided lines?
08 R1 MC and HEL lines ordered .. many thanks !They are all the same fit. You might have to swap internal adjuster bar but it's only held in with a cir clip . My brembo 1 was off an 08 r1 . It fitted my 91 fzr 1000 . Then went on to my 86 tzr 250. I paid 30 for it . And it was mint. Rear line will cost you 25 30 . There is no flex in braided lines so the hose doesn't expand when brake is pushed. Unlike oem rubber. Gives more of an oomph when braking.
Yummy. That's a good hour to fit and bleed. Will be a really great Back brake. . Ive braided lines all round on my fz. The rear brake wasnt great on my bike even with the lines fitted. I noticed this from the day the bike arrived. A small adjustment to the pedal height sorted it right out. Turns out previous owner only used back brake. That's a no no . I rarely use the rear. Front is usually all I need. And that's the one you should mainly use anyway.
Not yetIs the rear done. ? How did you get on.
