Custom brake lines???
« on: November 14, 2006, 06:24:37 AM »
Is there an on-line vendor who will make custom length brake lines for Hondas?? My local truck hydraulic line maker doesn't have anything that small...   :'(

I figured I could cut the banjo fittings off old lines, but they don't have ferrules or the smaller fitting for the crimper...or the small line either...

I asked at NAPA; it received humorous response...   >:(

Thank you all for the replies!  ;)

RideNow just emailed me that my '75 CB750F brake pads are no longer available from Honda, so I guess I'll order the pads and lines from Dennis Kirk.   :(
