Finding Steel Brake Lines

[xHolepunchx]

Hey everyone. I'm building up one of my bikes this winter and want to use an aftermarket HD style headlight. I've seen a lot of guys mounting them where the brake lines comes into that little connector on the lower part of the triple, and was wondering where I might find a steel brake line long enough to run from the caliper to the master cylinder so I can free up those two holes to bolt the headlight there. Any ideas?

In most of the catalogs, like J&P, sell braided steel lines at various lengths. measure the length of the line you have from the M/C to the caliper. Buy the line at that length, buy the correct finning to adapt the line to your M/C and caliper.
Now you have a one piece brake line from the M/C to caliper.
Even Mike's sells one.
You might find them at your local parts store.

thanks, I looked on mikes, didn't see any other than the two stock lengths that still appear to use the middle piece I'm trying to eliminate. I'm still using the stock brake cables right now with the bars I chose (TC Bros Lanesplitters)

If that MikesXS hose won't work, Pegasus Auto Racing has all kinds of brake hose parts and adaptors so you can make your own. They are generally more expensive that their competitors but carry only top quality stuff. No offshore junk.
