I am upgrading my brake lines to the Gafler SS lines. I had the right side caliper on and went to rebuild the left hand side and found out I had lost one of the dust seals. Being in Wichita KS our wonderful bike shops do not carry these in stock. So I ordered another set from BikeBandit. While waiting for this I went ahead and upgraded the rear brake line. After getting the seal in I go to install the new Gafler line and the banjo bolt is the wrong thread!!! It is a fine thread instead of a course. Thought maybe they sent an extra but it was the only bolt left. All the others went in with out a problem so I know I didn't force on in somewhere I shouldn't have.
Finally getting to the question after ranting and letting off steam. I know I can not use the stock banjo bolt because the fluid holes are much smaller on the Gafler. Does anyone know if an automotive store or any of the very limited motorcyle dealers in Wichita would carry a banjo bolt that would work with these lines? My entire weekend was planned around bleeding the brakes and finally getting this back on the road (not sure what that says about me if this was my entire weekend plans). I want to be safe and use the correct bolt, just don't want to wait around for the UPS person again. Need to move to a state the actually carries motorcycle parts in stock.
