I'm in the process of overhauling the front brakes on my SF3, not used the bike this year and one of the caliper pistons was sticking a touch. My bike has a later Brembo master cylinder fitted (rectangular reservoir) with one hose going down to each calliper and I'd like to get it put it back to original spec. To that note I've picked up the hose manifold that goes on the lower yoke at a jumble and now need to sort new hoses and master cylinder. So?

Looking at the Goodridge hose website they do a set of 3 hoses to fit the Jota 120/180. Would these be the same lengths and fittings as my SF3?

If i can't find an original PS15 master cylinder what options do I have for a repro Brembo unit or equivalent?

Cheers,

Stuart
 
Hi Stuart
Almost certainly the Goodridge parts will be intended for direct connection to the calipers, missing out the OE bundy pipe that runs from the caliper, behind the fork leg and then connects to the hose. However, if you give 'em a call I'm sure they will sort you out. They list more items than appear on their website. If not, they can certainly make what you want to order.

Last time I looked, pattern PS15 m/c were available here
http://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/cgi-bi...hink Stein Dinse in Germany can also supply.
 
It's worth giving Venhill a look for hoses. I used the stainless fittings and I like the that the ends can be tightened once they're fitted so no unnatural twisting, if that makes sense!!
Hoses are available in lengths of 25mm increments and lots of end fittings available. Having said that Goodridge are top shelf but they come at a price.
 
Goodridge do the same thing under there 'Buildaline' brand. Called them today and had a good chat with a very helpful person all about it. Hoses come pre-crimped onto which you screw the fittings of your choice.

Eyes are still watering at the price of master cylinders though!

Hi Stuart,

Hoses...

I use Earl's at Sliverstone and make up hoses myself > on the bike.

I find just a small difference in hose length can make for a very neat installation and like to have that in my control. You can probably perfect the instalation by using different angle banjos too.

Never thought of checking out the Guzzi specialists so thanks for that Normski.

Agree with you about hose length Paul. I checked out the lengths that Andy Wagner sells for the SF and they seem really long compared to what I've measured on the bike.
