Description

Banjo bolts are used to secure the brake line to the brake calipers, master cylinders, or other hydraulic components on the motorcycle. The bolt is typically used in conjunction with banjo fittings and washers to create a secure and leak-free connection for the brake fluid.

Key Features:
Material: Banjo bolts are typically made of high-strength materials such as steel, stainless steel, or brass. These materials ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, especially in a brake system where heat and pressure are present.
Thread Size: The banjo bolt has a specific thread size that matches the brake line fittings, ensuring a proper and secure fit. The thread size may vary depending on the brake system and the model of the motorcycle.
Banjo Fitting Compatibility: The banjo bolt is designed to work with banjo fittings that have a hole through the center, allowing hydraulic brake fluid to flow through. This fitting style is commonly used in motorcycle brake systems, especially in high-performance or custom builds.
OEM Fitment: As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, the HD5002 banjo bolt is designed to meet Harley-Davidson’s quality and performance standards. It ensures the correct fit and proper functioning of the brake line assembly on compatible Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Functionality:
Hydraulic System Connection: The banjo bolt connects the brake line to the hydraulic components, such as the brake caliper or master cylinder. It plays a vital role in maintaining a secure, leak-free connection for the transmission of hydraulic pressure to activate the brake system.
Brake Fluid Flow: When the brake lever or pedal is engaged, the hydraulic pressure is transmitted through the brake line and the banjo fitting. The banjo bolt holds the brake line securely in place, allowing the fluid to flow freely through the system to engage the brake calipers and apply the brake pads to the rotors.
Ensuring Safety: A properly installed and torqued banjo bolt is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the brake system, as any leaks or loose fittings can compromise braking performance and safety.

Applications:
Harley-Davidson Motorcycles: This banjo bolt is compatible with various Harley-Davidson models, particularly those that use hydraulic brake systems with banjo fittings. It is typically used in the brake line assembly for both front and rear brakes.
Brake System Components: It is commonly used to secure brake lines to master cylinders, calipers, and other brake system components where a hydraulic connection is needed.

Possible Models Compatible with:
Harley-Davidson Softail Models: Certain Softail models may use this banjo bolt for their brake lines.
Harley-Davidson Dyna Models: Dyna models with hydraulic brake systems may also be compatible with this part.
Harley-Davidson Touring Models: Some Touring models, especially those with hydraulic brake systems, may use this banjo bolt.
Harley-Davidson Sportster Models: Various Sportster models with hydraulic brakes could also use this banjo bolt.
