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.

hi thanks for that,i tightned the joint but it didnt cure it
so i bought a new coated briaded hose.
it works fine now, regards tony.
