Just wondering if anyone knows the exact length of the standard front brake hose for the 250lc, trying to get one made up but don’t have an original to use as an example.
Many thanks, Shaun

Measuring on the bike with a bit of string it looks to be around 765mm between centres of the eyes.

I haven't got an original but could measure a pattern one which isn't fitted to the bike. Would that help?

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated, Since found out that it is about 785mm so you were quite accurate with your measurements.
Must give a big shout out to Carlton Hydrolics in Rotherham S65 1SU 01709 378999. Went over to see if they could make me an original looking hose , me thinking that i may have to wait at least a couple of days ,but no, hey presto 10 minutes later I was walking out with a nice new hose freshly made while i wait, complete with rubber cover as per original, all pressure tested as well.
Would advise if possible to take sample hose or at least some photos , that way they can copy the orientation for the couplings etc, proper nice people they were and would not hesitate to recommend.

Legends only sell 2 piece hoses and not the single length hose and yambits hoses don’t have the protective rubber cover only springs, The one i got made was only£26.56 so good value and only 10 minutes to make
