    I just recently got a new front brake hose for my 81 Maxim 650. I actually got the pair of new hoses as the project I am working on was missing them entirely. Because of this, there is nothing to connect the hoses to the master cylinder, caliper or the valve in between. Where do I get the parts and what and how many do I need?

    And can I get the parts locally or should I order them online?

    You could have just gone with one hose and did away with the junction in the middle, but seeing as you already have the hoses....

    You'll need 4 Banjo Bolts - 10x1.25 mm - you can get them at pretty much any bike shop, or you can order direct from our own Chacal (XJ4ever)

    You'll also neeed two copper crush washers per union, in your case, 8. They go on the bolt on BOTH sides of the union.
