newbie here building my bike. need some help from someone knolegeable to the subject.

so i have everything i need to have my hand brake set up on the bike except for the fitting that converts the reservior hole on the foot pedal MC so i can thread a banjo bolt into it.

now my only problem is that all the fittings i can find seem to have a small alen bolt or what have you, that holds the fitting into the MC. now my foot pedal MC does not have that small bolt holding it in.

so i was wondering should i just get one and put it in and hope it doesn't pop out or is there a fitting suited for MC's that don't have that small bolt?

any help would be greatly apprecciated, have been searching the subject for a few days now.

thanks for reading.

w.o. seeing the rear master it seams that this is similar to a 636 style rear master, and you would need a fitting similar to that.
your best bet is to ebay a spare rear and get a fullthrottleinc style adapter(call bill n explain ur situation)

or a gptech style adapter. w.this kind u may want to kwiksteel, jbweld, or tig the adapter on to make a perfect air free seal.....

get all that? Now Do It!

just find an old master with enough aluminum around where the banjo bolts up, so that you can just cut it off and still have enough for someone to weld that threaded part to your existing foot master at the spot where you would use a fitting.


No allen head needed then, you're done searching for a fitting, no leaks, and no problem!
HB issue solved...

hohey makes a dual caliper bracket for the ktm but its for the right side caliper. i have a ktm duke 2 and the chain is on the right side-caliper on left so i cant use that. as far as the rear master it is not like a sport bike where you can just add the fitting and line to hand brake. its kinda like a 07 r1 front master with that small black plastic tube squeezed into a rubber grommet that goes to the hose and bottle. if you find something let me know.

how many people weld fittings to there mc cuz i would think that would melt the seals?

you take it off the bike and gut it first....

I did that to my 06 gixer six's foot master for a ghetto HB fitting... It's no Hohey 4 piston dual caliper set up, but I got a brembo master and braided line, and it works great!

Too good for a squid like me actually! LOL
