routing rear brake pipe through swing arm
Hi
I have an RVF400 and have seen the rear brake pipe routed through the swing arm. I have a damaged swing arm and old brake pipe, and have used these to test this. The problems I have are. 1 Should I put a weld around where I drill the swing arm to prevent it from cracking. 2 Will this weaken the swing arm and make the bike un usable. 3 I need to get a brake cable made locally(Cork) because pipe will be routed through the swingarm and its a one off

lot of hassle though

Re: routing rear brake pipe through swing arm
abit pointless, polish the swingarm and use either coloured hel line or s/s line both look good
