Honda Pilot FL400R Stainless Braided Rear Caliper Brake Line
Fitment, Routing & Safety Notes:
- Position & Routing: Connects directly from the chassis rear hard line junction on the swingarm/frame to the rear brake caliper inlet fitting.
- Armor & Protective Coating: Features tightly woven stainless steel outer braiding to stop volumetric expansion under pressure, encased in a durable clear UV-resistant PVC sleeve to lock out sand, mud, and trail grit.
- Hydraulic System Bleeding: Replacing any hydraulic brake line introduces air into the brake circuit. A complete system flush and thorough bleeding are required prior to test-riding.
- Vehicle Compatibility: Designed specifically for direct bolt-on installation on the 1989–1990 Honda Pilot FL400R.
Honda Pilot FL400R Stainless Braided Rear Caliper Brake Line
Eliminate rear brake fade and achieve immediate, firm stopping power on your 1989–1990 Honda Pilot FL400R with this upgraded Braided Stainless Steel Rear Caliper Brake Line. Original factory rubber lines are now over three decades old; with age, internal rubber layers soften, micro-crack, and balloon outward every time you grab the hand lever. This hydraulic expansion robs clamping force from the rear caliper, resulting in a spongy lever feel and diminished stopping control when entering corners or descending steep terrain.
This premium replacement hose features an extruded PTFE inner core wrapped in tightly woven marine-grade stainless steel braid. By physically preventing line expansion under intense hydraulic pressure, it transfers 100% of master cylinder force directly to the rear caliper pistons for instant pad bite. The entire assembly is sealed in a heavy-duty clear protective jacket that prevents sand and abrasive trail debris from embedding in the stainless weave while protecting surrounding chassis parts from abrasion.
Key Specifications & Features:
- Zero Volumetric Expansion: High-tensile stainless steel braiding eliminates line ballooning for immediate lever response and maximum rear clamping force.
- PTFE Inner Core: Chemically inert smooth-bore liner compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, and high-performance racing brake fluids.
- Clear Protective Outer Jacket: Prevents dirt, sand roost, and mud from working into the braid while guarding against scuffs on nearby frame tubes.
- Direct-Fit OEM Replacement: Features factory-matched end fittings and exact line length to connect seamlessly from the rear hard line to the rear caliper without binding through swingarm travel.
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Plated, heavy-duty fittings resist corrosion, road salt, and harsh outdoor washdown chemicals.
- Crucial Performance Upgrade: Recommended for high-speed trail riding, dune running, and performance restorations.
