As it says, has anyone done this?
Would like to run the pipe from the m/c down to the headstock inside the bars. Anyone Ideas?
Cheers
Andy

Cheers guys.
I've put 1" bars on (3mm wall) so have some room for manoeuvre inside, not a lot but should be enough. Interesting your BMW had a solid tube in the headstock Steve. I had wondered about whether to use flexi or solid through the bars. Flexi will be easier to terminate nicely, fixed is much smaller but will require some clever thinking to terminate nicely outside the bars.
How you planning to do it Stumpy?

It was hollow, you see the tube that the branded lines connected to it fed through the tube |

Ha ha ha. Was wondering about Mr MSVA man more than water, sure any wires need grommets when going through holes. Good idea to put it on the bottom though - why didn't I think that - DOH! |

What's the thinking behind that vs copper ByzMax? |

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself, Stumpy seems happy enough with just copper though. Maybe copper with a rubber sleeve over my be the optimum. I was going to use braid originally, then looked at the size of the hole I would need in the bars and wondered about that. I may play this weekend with some mock ups.
