Source for Brake Lines for 750K3
« on: February 29, 2012, 08:16:16 PM »
Can you suggest a source for quality stainless brake lines for a 73 750K3? I'd like them to look as close to stock as possible, so I'd prefer black lines.  I'd rather get them pre-made vs. assembling myself.  Rebuilding carbs or wheels doesn't bother me, but something about building my own brake lines makes me nervous ;) Thanks all.

Shaun at Slingshot Cycle.  He's a member here, and he gives discounts to other members.  I'll find you the link.

+1   I'd recommend him as well.  Good stuff.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Ordered the rubber lines from Slingshot today.  $39.99 less $6.00 discount. Type SOHC4 as the offer code to get the discount.  $5.00 to ship to PA.  Shaun from Slingshot claims the rubber lines provide 75% of the efficiency of the braided lines while retaining the original look.  Supposedly far superior to the original lines in terms of performance and wear.  I'll report back after I have a chance to install and test.

Very satisfied with the responsiveness and assistance I received from Shaun.
