ZN1300 Steel Braided Brake Lines

		ZN1300 Brake Lines

Last Update 8/22/08

Here's some pictures I took of the steel braided brake lines I installed on my Kawasaki Voyager 1300. I sell these lines for the KZ and ZN and Pretech caliper conversion, but I've since found another supplier that can give me a better price.

To keep from getting brake fluid on the paint on my fender I take a large garbage bag and wrap it around the fender. Brake fluid will damage your paint.

It usually takes a lot of bleeding to get all the air out when you put on new lines.

The brake distribution block.

You should use new brake washers of the correct size and even the auto parts sell these in various sizes. You can see I had to double up the washers on the inside fitting because I was getting some interference with the line hitting the block. I probably could of ground out the inside of the block a little where it was touching, but it was just as easy to use 2 washers. david@kz1300.com

NOTE: On these newer browsers I've noticed that they don't always display my large images in full size when you open an image from the thumbnails. Once you click the thumbnail and open the larger image, if you 'mouse over' the image you should see a " + " symbol or some other indicator like a box with arrows usually on the bottom right edge of the image. If you click on the indicator, then the image will expand to it's full size which displays full screen on computers that use a 800 x 600 resolution setting for the monitor. If you click the indicator again it will go back to the smaller image. Some people use a resolution setting of 1024 x 768 or higher on their monitors and for those users the images will appear smaller than full screen in size. You can change your monitor settings easily enough if you desire. Also, the indicator I've noticed is slow to appear even after the image appears to of completely loaded. The indicator in Netscape seems to be a lot faster to display than the one in Internet Explorer.
