hi all
i found on getting my sportster out,i had no front brake,i had instaled braided
hoses about six months ago and until now they have been ok.
i found that where the hose fits into the joint that tightens to the banjo
it is bleeding out.my question is would it be safe to tighten it up a snick
or would i crush the joint making it worse? the hose is new but of the older
type ie:without the plastic coating.
regards tony.
ps sorry ive not been intouch.

Try tightenning it. At worst you'll have to go get new crush washers.
