reading alot and some people say how hard it was to bleed. Also there is a member doing the mod(crown) to the bracket and I want to get one while my swingarm is off. I am wanting to know exactly what I should buy. I see people have done it several ways as pioners in all the threads I've read. So just wanting to get the easiest most cost effective way. I know I need the modified bracket but at that point alot of different things came up, like angled banjo fittings, new lines, just running the line over the top and not having problems, some people unable to bleed properly etc. sorry for all the super common question but slowly im gettin'er done. thanks guys...

 best tip I can provide from my own experience....measure 3 times, cut once ;)

 I purchased mine from crown while i was also getting my swingarm to a 260. I still have the stock lines and so far so good. When bleeding i did have to rotate the bracket to it's original position to get the gravity right. i've been very pleased with crown's kit. 

 it was set up as a swap and price was competitive. you can get it for less from a few more vendors, but the ease and rep crown has, i went with him.

 well that's my story, have a good day.

This worked well for me....

thanks for the info.... so nobody is running the hidden caliper with stock line? im not going to do it myself as far as the bracket I will just pay and get one so i don't have to mess with it just wondering if I should just get a stainless line or not. I will read up on the adjustable one that was posted.

I'm sure some are using the stock line. Do a search on "hidden caliper" or "hidden rear caliper".

Good start here ---> http://rswarrior.com/forums/t/28360.aspx?PageIndex=1

I was able to use the stock line. Take a look at this link.

just read thru all that. looks easy as can be maybe some people were just not used to bleeding brakes? I have a bike were i have a rear hand brake and sometimes its easier just to bleed everything off the bike then seal it all up and install. thanks for that I read alot about the mod. but had not come across that yet...

 i used the stock lines. read my post again on how i bled the brakes. good luck.

You only need that special fitting if you want to run the brake line on top of the swingarm as in the stock configuration. Running it on top causes the stock bleeder to be in the way thus the need to cut it off and use the new fitting. My goal was to keep the line running like stock while others don't mind the line looping below the swingarm. Its a personal preference.
