i'm fitting the M4 calipers to my 2011 MTS, and have all the bits people have mentioned, angled banjos, flexibles, etc, but have hit a snag. The M4s have a separate bleed nippleon the outer edge, and if I try to fit my banjos plus my original combined bleed nipple on the inner edge hole, it will be very close o the rim, plus I'll have to remove the wheel to get the calipers on. Do I simply need to replace the bleed nipple banjo bolt with a plain one? Or am I missing something?
I did this change on mine but I've since sold them. You've probably read them all already though! Here was were I got all my advice from John W: Full Thread: http://ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/mts-brake-upgrade.19125/ This thread lists my issues: http://ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/brembo-brake-upgrade-with-ohlins.29491/page-2 John's advice. Finally got around to digging out the receipt for the hoses for the monobloc upgrade. All parts are ordered from Venhill.co.uk Motorcycle Braided Brake Hoses, Lines and Clutch Cables, which is a company in Dorking, Surrey. They are a long established and very well respected company for supplying cables and hoses in the off road world. Take a look here: POWERHOSE PLUS Parts required: 1x 3H0450 - 450 mm Braided Stainless steel line 1x 3H1850 - 1850mmBraided Stainless steel line 2x Colour 7 - Black Hose colour selected for above 1x 3/60081S - straight M10 Banjo 1/8bsp thread 3x 3/60082S - 20 degree M10Banjo 1/8bsp thread The other thing you will need is a bunch of new copper washers to use on the banjo bolts. Basically the hoses are made up with threaded nuts, and you fit whatever ends you need. The pictures show which end type is required where. Pictures to follow in a moment. One of each of the calipers, and the end that connects to the abs pump. One of the advantages of the loose ends is that you can adjust them to the correct angle. The other thing is, the hoses have rubber sleeves. There are 2 on the short hose that I positioned either side to stop the hose rubbing on the mudguard. there are 3 (I think) on the long one which I positioned under the clamp on the front of the lower yolk, and under the metal hose clips on the trellis frame.
I've looked at the original pictures from @MJW61 which shows plain banjo bolts fitting the banjos, so I've ordered some and hope they'll be here soon.
