Having a hard time remembering how these go, anyone with a pic or the right caliper? I can't find a fiche either, only calipers.
One of the banjo bolts is for two lines, which is that?

From the 'block'...(at the right side of the steering head on the frame)that line goes down to the caliper.It has a banjo on the end.The crossover line has 2 banjos.Order:Feed line,crossover line,bolt.The small arm there sits against the inboard banjo line.It'll be visible to you when in there correctly.If the inboard banjo end is 'in front of' that small metal 'arm',it's not correct.That small piece sits against the frontmost(feed line) fitting(visible),and stops the line from turning when tightening.Don't forget all the washers on those lines.Should be three .On that one side. Two on the left caliper.
'Front of bike' is to the left direction.The line from the 'block' is the farthest one coming down there at the left upper corner.

The gen1 stock brakes have the double banjo on the right caliper. The side the line comes down from the front brake master cylinder. That hose from the MC also has a cube shaped block that mounts to a bracket on the fork clamps. There is no other way it could go together. Mount the cube on the fork clamp and I'm almost positive the ring coupling could not reach the left hand caliper. Goes to the right, then the U shaped line goes on top, then the banjo bolt. Three aluminum gaskets also between parts. The other banjo ring fitting on the U shaped hose goes to the right hand caliper.

I don't think it'll matter.Whatever your block looks like,it'll have a single feed line coming out and down.Just curious.You don't have the crossover?Crossover's most likely the same in all model years.
