Chrome 3/8 10MM Straight Goodridge Banjo Fitting

Banjo Fittings are an essential component of the braking system for Street Cruiser, Touring, and V-Twin motorcycles. These fittings provide a secure connection between the brake lines and other brake components, ensuring a reliable and efficient braking performance.

Banjo Fittings serve as the interface between the brake hose and the brake caliper, master cylinder, or other brake-related parts. They feature a distinctive 90-degree bend that helps route the brake line in a clean and organized manner, minimizing kinks or sharp angles that could restrict fluid flow and compromise braking efficiency.

The use of Banjo Fittings in motorcycle brake systems offers several advantages:

Flexibility: The angled design of Banjo Fittings allows for greater flexibility in routing the brake lines, enabling the installer to create a clean and tidy appearance while ensuring optimal brake line routing.

Leak Prevention: Banjo Fittings provide a secure and leak-proof connection, preventing brake fluid from escaping the system and ensuring consistent brake performance.

Ease of Installation: Compared to straight fittings, Banjo Fittings are generally easier to install, as they allow for greater maneuverability and positioning of the brake lines.

Adjustability: If needed, Banjo Fittings can be loosened and rotated to adjust the orientation of the brake line, allowing for fine-tuning of the overall brake system layout.

When selecting Banjo Fittings for your Street Cruiser, Touring, or V-Twin motorcycle, it's important to choose the correct size and thread pattern to ensure a proper fit with your brake components. Most Banjo Fittings are available in common sizes such as 3/8-inch, 10mm, or 12mm, with various thread pitches to accommodate different brake system configurations.

In addition to the standard Banjo Fitting, there are also specialized variants available, such as:

Banjo Bolts: These combine the Banjo Fitting and the securing bolt into a single component, simplifying the installation process.

Swivel Banjo Fittings: These fittings feature a rotating barrel, allowing for even greater flexibility in brake line routing and adjustment.

Choosing the right Banjo Fitting is crucial for the overall performance and safety of your motorcycle's braking system. It's always recommended to consult with a qualified motorcycle mechanic or refer to your bike's service manual to ensure compatibility and proper installation.

By incorporating Banjo Fittings into your Street Cruiser, Touring, or V-Twin motorcycle's brake system, you can enjoy enhanced braking performance, improved aesthetics, and peace of mind knowing that your brake lines are securely and efficiently connected.
