R6 bluespots and master

[fung]

so . . .last saturday the R6 03-04 bluespots went on with an 03-04 R6 master cylinder.
i took some forum advice and fitted up my TRX goodridge lines turning the ends in thru 90deg at the caliper.
much nicer feel than with the std master/blueys combo.
not as hard, more squeeze but very positive.
the trx lines are not really happy with the twist, so i've got some R6 03-04 braided lines coming soon.
pix to follow.
cheers

Got around to fitting the 14mm Yamaha master I picked up also on the week end.. I feel a lot happier with the wet session upon us with a little more sensitivity in the lever

I did the same thing, but also spun the banjos at the master cylinder end to get rid of the twist, worked well enough.

Ah well if you would use the build a line components:

as I do you would never have these problems but you are all to worried about your safety to try it.
Remeber folks many of the cars you might own and drive have male / female tapered ferrules at any of thie joints.
Alternatively buy lines that can be rotated through 360 degrees because they have spinning collars / swivel nuts:
