1977 CB750F Dual Front Brakes

I was all ready to fit the right brake on my 1977 750F last night but something came up and I held off. I was following instructions from this site: http://www.salocal.com/sohc/tech/dual_disks/dual_disks.htm

But then I saw pictures of the dual brake set up and they didn't have a double banjo bolt off the master cylinder, then I thought to myself,"Where would the other hose go if I had a double banjo bolt?"

Is there a seperate T splitter I have to get in order to run the dual brakes? I thought the 77 Cb750F came ready for a second front brake as long as you had another caliper?

You just put both lines on the double banjo bolt. You can get them from tazclassicmotorsports.com

This guy has the same set up as me but he doesn't have a double banjo bolt anywhere that I can see, because the 1977 Cb750F2 has the brake splitter. Does that mean I don't need a double banjo bolt? Because the line from my master cylinder is going into the T splitter and that connects to the the different brakes.

If your line has a splitter, then no, you do not need a double banjo.
