i have an issue with those **** little plastic keepers that hold the brake lines next to the front fender. they dont seem to hold very well. the front brake line then hangs out, away from the clips.
i am tempted to just slightly loosen the brake line where it bolts to the caliper, and turn the line inward, closer to the fender.
that seems like a clean fix to me. would i need to bleed the brakes after that, or am i better off just replacing the keepers :?:
 
those all stainless clamps might be just the ticket. it would still be good to turn in the "banjos"- what is the wrench size, a 14.5 mm ? :?

Turning the banjos in slightly fixes the problem.

If you're careful... you won't have to bleed. If not... you will.
