    I have an 86 VFR and was wondering what lines you guys use. Do you use a two line set up or
    or run a three line thru the block like the orignal set up?

    I have the traditional 3 line set-up using the splitter on my two stock 1986 VFRs. But It's mostly because those are the lines that I got off parts bikes or I cobbled together out of misc braided lines.

    I don't think this is an issue on the 86 VFR, but on the VF1000R a double banjo bolt can hit the dash at full lock left (because of how the master hole is oriented). And if you want to retain the black rubber boot at the master, one line looks looks nice.

    I went with the three line set up. While I was in there I rebuilt the master cylinder and had
    the forks rebuilt with race tech springs. unnamed (14).jpg
