Don't f**k about with an adaptor. If you are going to the expense of a decent MC, throw in a bit extra and get purpose built lines to suit. HEL are pretty good and are now doing coloured stainless which I'm told looks pretty sweet.

Do your own thing. I have a pair of Goodridge dual line but they are for the top feed, GP3 type calipers. These hoses will be coming off in a few weeks and will be replaced by a single down line that splits across the mudguard, 916 style. The exit from the Radial lever is a 90 degree union that sends the hose neatly down the fork leg, avoiding any bunching as you turn the bars.

I thnk this will be the 3rd or 4th iteration of caliper/hose that I've tried. I might get it right soon....
