kbuck-2
Hi All,

Having some trouble finding replacement brake hose and fittings for the front caliper.  Anyone bought this stuff lately?

Thanks,
Kevin

you can order custom length galfer stainless brake lines that don't cost much more than oem and work alot better. You would have to call them to find out if the already have a kit for your bike. If they don't though its not too hard to measure the old ones and order custom line. Just make sure you specify the right banjo for each end on each line. I just ordered a two line kit from them it was around $100 they work great look great and will last forever.

I ordered mine from helusa.com. Lifetime warranty and looks great. It is a braided line and much stronger than stock. Brake works better too. I got rid of the steel line.

Some motorcycle stores can get them.  European Motorcycles in Pittsburgh for example.

I just go to the local "Tompkins's Industry's", and have them made up. About 1/4th the price of the catalog stores, and motorcycle shops.

How much have you gotten them for? Mine was custom built for 50 including shipping.

The set, for the duel disc conversion on the Toolmatic, 3 lines, 3 banjo bolts, and 9 copper washers came to $47.00. And all the banjo fittings were hand bent to fit.

That is an excellent price. Sure can't beat it. Net time I need lines I will have to see about doing that.
