Hi everyone,
I have an AU 2 XR8 with an FG front brake upgrade kit (322mm). It has standard AU rear brakes. I want to put stainless steel brake lines on it. My question is are the BF-FG lines and threads etc the same as the twin piston AU brakes. If so can i just buy an AU stainless brake hose kit and fit it? |

I have put BF XR 322 on my AU and used the standard AU XR8 on mine they just make the length, I bent the cable holder on the shock a little bit, they still have movement when the wheel is full turned. Haven't fitted the rear so can't help there.

I'm looking at Terry 328*26 but not sure if they are worth it. Standard BA rears are a bit larger and cheaper to fine.

Thanks. Do the BA brakes require any mods like the BF rears do?

No I dont think so BA's are smaller, only 303*16. They should be an easy swap with 17" mags and above
