I try to stay away from EBAY. There a last resort for me anymore. I got the banjo from a third party seller through Amazon. Amazon is good to make things right, but when dealing with a third party seller, things get a bit tougher.

I'm sure I'll get free return shipping on this, but I needed to know that I had a bad part first.

Thanks Steve !!

You may save a couple of dollars and end up with massive headaches...

You need 10mm x 1.25mm pitch.

When you measure bolts, you measure the THREAD diameter, Most threads will be slightly undersized, so a 10mm bolt will measure 9.85mm - this gives enough clearance to thread the bolt into the hole.

Thanks Patton, but I have the correct banjo bolt that fits the master cylinder properly. I'm having issues getting a "12mm banjo" to bolt to the master cylinder.

Look in your local phone book for a place that fixes & makes Hydraulic hoses for heavy equipment, that's where I had them make my S.S. braided brake line hoses, they'll have all kinds of banjo fittings in all different angles

We use to have Hose Mart. It was bought by Alternative Hose but went out of business not long after.

12mm banjo fittings might be a common Harley item :unsure: , as shown in this link I stumbled across in googling 12mm banjo bolt:
www.demonscycle.com/chrome-12mm-35-bend-...y-brake-fitting.html

Is just the 12mm banjo fitting needed (for attachment to an already on-hand brake hose), or is a complete brake line with integrated 12mm banjo fitting needed?

Good Fortune! :)
