[Ducati] Front brake hose routing (98 916)

[ducatisti]

There should be a little black plastic fitting that the crossover hose 
snaps into. It looks like it's riveted, but the underside has what 
appears to be a post with a push on ring. If you've still got the 
straight-in brakelines, you should probably be more concerned about the 
lines pinching the fender into contact with the tire.

Here's some pics:

Check under everything in the garage.
