Product details
These Race Spec single banjo bolts are built for motorcycles and racing bikes, aimed at brake and clutch systems where precision, durability and safety count. Each one is machined in Britain from premium-grade stainless bar, with a hex head pre-drilled ready for lockwire - a key safety feature on track and in competition.
They suit a track-prepped superbike, road racing, or any motorcycle build wanting motorsport-grade components. Lockwire-ready, and used by professional riders according to HEL, they are a common choice for serious bike builds.
Beyond bikes, these Race Spec banjo bolts also suit race cars, custom drift builds and bespoke high-pressure hydraulic rigs, wherever a secure, vibration-resistant brake or clutch connection is required.
Made in the UK, HEL banjo bolts are built for use under pressure. The raw stainless finish gives strong corrosion resistance, and precision-machined threads help provide a leak-free fit even in demanding environments.
- Includes one lockwire-ready stainless banjo bolt, HEL Performance Race Spec
Copper crush washers aren't included; they can be bought separately.
Every banjo bolt takes two copper crush washers, one either side of the fitting, so the seal stays hydraulic-tight and leak-free. On a bike built for racing or motorsport, lockwiring the bolt through its pre-drilled head with 0.8mm stainless wire is strongly advised, to meet safety rules.
- What are these bolts for? Fitted to motorcycle brake and clutch systems built for high performance, letting hydraulic fluid pass through a banjo joint while keeping a secure seal under pressure; the lockwire holes stop vibration working the bolt loose.
- Motorcycle only? No - developed mainly for bikes and superbikes, but they also work in drift cars, race cars and other motorsport builds needing a secure hydraulic joint.
- Why drill the hex head? So 0.8mm lockwire can pass through it, letting the bolt be wired safely against loosening from vibration - useful on track.
- Do they suit braided lines? Yes - these pair well with HEL's braided brake and clutch lines, and with custom hydraulic builds too.
- Material? Stainless bar, CNC-cut for strength, durability and resistance to corrosion whether on road or track.
- What else is needed to fit them? Sold separately: a pair of copper crush washers for each bolt, plus stainless lockwire where used for motorsport.
