TRANSCRIPT
hey guys we get a lot of questions about
00:02
our custom line builder sheets check out
00:04
this video for some helpful tips alright
00:07
guys we’re gonna walk you through our
00:08
custom line builder sheet for a single
00:11
line kit with a stiffer so you’re gonna
00:14
pull up the gal for usa.com page and
00:16
you’re gonna click the far left tab
00:18
where it says products on the fifth line
00:21
down is gonna be your custom line
00:23
builder let’s click on that first and
00:26
foremost we highly recommend watching
00:27
our video on how to measure break line
00:29
so it’ll make this a little bit easier
00:31
for you guys we’re gonna scroll all the
00:32
way down and click the very first
00:34
picture of a break line once you click
00:40
that it’ll bring up a PDF file of all
00:42
the lines colors and fittings that we
00:44
offer for most standard lines you’ll
00:46
scroll down and review the fittings see
00:48
which ones you’ll need for your
00:49
particular application and as you go
00:51
through your application you’ll enter
00:53
your bike information let’s plug in a
00:57
Suzuki we’re going to plug in the
01:00
general information for our motorcycle
01:02
and then after we plug in our
01:04
information then we’re going to choose
01:06
our line style
01:20
you’ve got a drop-down menu for that for
01:22
example we’re using an O six rm250 this
01:25
bike would use a single line front with
01:27
a stiffer if you have a golfer part
01:33
number now’s the time to use it
01:34
for example if you’re lengthening an
01:36
existing line this will tell us all of
01:39
the fittings and hardware that’s
01:40
required to install this complete line
01:42
otherwise if you’re creating a brand new
01:45
line kit go ahead and leave that blank
01:47
now you’re going to scroll down some
01:49
more and you’ll see all the brake line
01:52
styles we’ve got a single single width
01:54
stiffener dual three line crimped and a
01:56
three line
01:59
from there you’re going to come down to
02:01
line a B and C since this is a single
02:04
line with a stiffener all we are going
02:06
to do is line a and here we’ll enter our
02:08
length to get the overall length of your
02:10
brake line kit you’re going to want to
02:12
measure from the center of the banjo to
02:14
the center of the banjo on the opposite
02:15
end we really recommend removing your
02:19
brake lines laying them out flat and
02:21
measuring them from banjo to banjo if
02:23
you need some help on this check out our
02:26
brake line measuring video we’re going
02:28
to need fitting number one so we’ll
02:31
scroll back up and look to determine
02:32
which fitting will be best for our
02:34
application
02:39
I’m gonna choose addy 1120 which is a 20
02:43
degree fitting then you’ll drop down the
02:48
menu and look for that same part number
02:49
and plug it in now for the caliper side
02:58
we’re gonna come back up and look at
02:59
what fittings we will want to use we’ll
03:01
scroll back up I’m going to pick a D
03:04
1144 the caliper which is a 12 degree
03:06
fitting
03:15
then we’re gonna pick out our line color
03:17
if you’re unsure of what colors we have
03:18
there at the top of this page don’t
03:22
forget there is no extra charge for
03:24
colored lines unless you choose platinum
03:25
platinum will be the only color with an
03:28
additional charge and a gal for us a
03:30
sales rep can let you know what that
03:31
would be so now we’re gonna pick our
03:33
line let’s go with gold then we’re gonna
03:42
pick our fitting colors you can see the
03:44
fitting colors at the top of the PDF as
03:46
well we’ll have gold silver red blue and
03:49
black for this let’s pick a black
03:52
fitting your bolt color will be the same
03:57
as your fitting color so we’re gonna go
04:00
with black now we’re gonna look at the
04:02
stiffener a stiffener goes over your
04:04
brake line so that when your forks
04:06
compress your brake line does not flex
04:08
on our sheet stiffener l n stands for
04:11
stiffener length most your bikes are
04:14
going to need a stiffener length we’re
04:16
going to plug in 10 inches for our sheet
04:18
now stiffener PS n stands for stiffener
04:21
positioning that measurement will be
04:23
from the lower caliper banjo fitting to
04:26
the bottom of the stiffener
04:30
we’ll plug in 12 inches for that heat
04:36
shrink designates what goes over the
04:37
crimp caps at the very top you’ll see
04:39
here that we’ve got gold with no heat
04:41
shrink we have platinum with no heat
04:43
shrink and then we have the colored
04:45
lines with black heat shrink black heat
04:47
shrink will cover the black switch
04:49
fitting that’ll make it look nice and
04:50
help keep it clean but it is not
04:52
required if you don’t need it you can
04:55
just leave this space blank or enter in
04:57
not needed we’re gonna plug in black
05:00
heat shrink for our Suzuki for a 2006
05:04
Suzuki rm250 we’ll also have to figure
05:07
out what kind of bolts we will need for
05:08
our banjo bolts there are two common
05:11
bolt types a 10 by 1.0 is a fine thread
05:14
bolt you typically see these on european
05:17
bikes the other common bolt type is a 10
05:19
by 1 2 5 this is a coarse thread bolt
05:22
these are usually on your Japanese bikes
05:25
you can find 8a and 8b right here on the
05:28
sheet most of Zhu keys use an 8a so
05:32
that’s what we’ll pick
05:36
we’ll plug in 8a times 2 if you believe
05:40
you’re gonna need clips or grommets to
05:41
install your kit this is where you’ll
05:43
want to plug them in if you’re going to
05:46
need any type of block for instance we
05:48
have a d1 27 block and a d0 460 block
05:53
these are the two most common blocks
05:55
that we use if you need one of those
05:56
now’s the time to enter it
06:03
there’s a few options but we’re gonna go
06:05
with not needed for now an olive which
06:07
is an Olive inverter will adapt some
06:10
concave fittings it’s right here
06:12
d0 for 30 for this particular bike we
06:16
don’t use that so we’re just gonna leave
06:18
it alone now we’re almost done here’s a
06:23
chance for you to add any additional
06:24

06:26

06:28
production workers in the box here you
06:29
can even draw us a picture of your line
06:31
kit shell for us a custom break line
06:34
kits typically take five to seven
06:36
business days to produce this here is a
06:38
rush charge this does not expedite your
06:41
shipping what this says is put your kit
06:44
