How does this look?(Rear brake line)

It’s fine.There’s enough flex in the line for it to not be a problem but the ‘final’ loop at the rear caliper end will not flex ‘sideways’ as to hit the rotor.If anything the line is a little too long.
I like your set up.You have 2 holes drilled in the swingarm am I right?For those ‘C’ clips that hold the line down?
I was originally gonna run a double from the front mc but as I had these lines already I said I’d see how they work out.
I have to order a clutch line but that should be it.

No those are factory to the swingarm it also has a little welded bracket on the inside of the swing-arm for the line to run through, I'd put some protective material around the brake line like rubber hose and zip tie it with heavy zip ties right to the swing arm if you don't have any brackets.
I have a ‘P’ clip left over from another bike that I can bolt to one of the rear mud guard anchor points.Just a bit nicer than using a zip tie.

The manual is a little difficult to see exactly man if I’m being honest.
I didn’t know that.Might not be a bad idea.
I found this bike the most awkward bike I’ve ever bled.

Might help get a better routing if you want..
Re your comment of bleeding being awkward, couldn't agree more. Esp if you have the oem Brembo's on the front.
I do.The banjo connects to the rear of my caliper.Not ideal.That rear set up is fine.It’s not gonna touch.Just waiting on a custom clutch line,then bleed clutch+brake systems,new battery,oil and filter.Take for a ride.Can’t wait to test the Galespeed masters
There's not enough flex with you carefully pushing and pulling. That's definitely a big risk you're taking. But hey, take my advice with a grain of salt, my damn brake line is zip tied to my swing arm
It’s on differently now.I haven’t updated the pics.It’s zip ties to the swingarm but routed differently also.
