You already have a "T" there. You would not need a double banjo bolt with that. I can not see the bearing, you are talking about in the picture. On the longer tubes, contact "Forking by Frank", or Cycle-X. Another option would be to use DOHC K model forks. They are two inches longer.

Your best bet is to get them made up local.They are common sizes,both the line and the ends. 10mm banjo fittings is what they are. Buying them from a vendor really drives up the cost. Im working on putting together a package for these at the speed shop to see if we can sell them cheaper.The lines we have hold up to nitrous applications and can withstand 1500+ psi.Its good stuff.

If you just need the two lower hoses longer that would probably run you about:
$18 ea. for the lines-braided stainless steel w/teflon liner NOT RUBBER!
$30 for all four adapters ( to adapt the AN lines to your banjo bolts)
and
$30 if you wanted 4 new banjo bolts with new crush washers

but banjo bolts and crush washers never wear out

I am not 100% positive on these prices,but they should be very close.

And we are in Virginia,but shipping shouldn't be too much. I can check on it if you want.Just let me know how long you would need the lines to be.

If you can give me measurements on the hoses you need,and how many ends you have I can find out for you. Are you going to be using banjo bolts on the end of every hose? It's the easy way,really.

I know you posted this a while but, just an fyi: you don't need to clean 'em for DOT 3 to DOT 4. It's only 5 you have to clean 'em out for. DOT 3, 4, 5.1 are all same base-fluid, so they mix well. DOT 5 is the funky stuff.

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

I have no idea what he is talking about either, but the rainbow thing kind of has me worried.

Rainbows are pretty.
CDA is talking about where Deadman is doing his brake lines. He is warning against mixing different types/DOT's of brake fluid.

Don't do it.

It gets ugly.

"The more you know"     ... the less you screw up.

C'mon fellas...try and keep up!HAHA

The rainbow is God's promise to us that He will never flood the Earth again. You see them when it rains so it is a good reminder of that promise. Just putting it out there...
