Thanks I didn't reckon on Mdina Italia , cheers.
Looks like the long one is out of stock though. I need that one as my brake hose banjo is held by it

Might have guessed!

I don't know if these will be the right size but there are some cheap versions on ebay too.

Thanks both, Pat and ventodue , as it happens Hel Performance have the part at £20.99 but Paddy is my go to for best price and service so I'll try him first. It's an oe part too

Cheers Hubert

One thing I did notice on the Mdina site was they had the long air filter hoses in stock. I seem to remember people looking for them.

Yes, being in the UK there's no customs duty and vat so a good buy....

Good man, Hubert. Paddy has always done me proud, so I'm always pleased if someone buys from him.

Yes , he's a super guy and a major asset to us owners... he's mentioned he won't always be doing it, so helps out as much as he can

I use one of those on my Guzzi T3 ( far less ugly when fitted as the front m/c banjo, rather than the Brembo item), and also the same on my Gpz900r.

Ground breaking the GPZ900R, love the firecracker red and black one

Here's a workable alternative if you're looking for a front brake light switch ...

It's on a bike that I've been doing some work on. It's something of a mongrel bike, but the Heath-Robinson brake light switch actually works quite well!

I don't reckon anyone would be able to guess what the bike is (except for a couple of Tassie LF members who know the bike).
Here's a clue: It's not a Laverda, but it would qualify for BEARS racing.

No, not a British bike. Wrong side of the iron curtain.

In that case it’s probably factory standard

I’m going to suggest that the brake cable adjuster needs adjusting. Ural?
