Hi Suprafabs, I actually bought a beautiful set of Stainless Galfer Lines from a member here for my 78 CB750 F recently....They appear to have been a kit with everything that you would need inlcuding banjo bolts and new crush washers... I'm not sure if I have your e-mail from another thread or something but please send it to me and I'll get you a photo buddy.

The Galfer set is amazing quality...very nice and I've never run stainless lines on a CB... but on my Sportster they helped a lot as opposed to the stock rubber ones.... Let me know if you have any questions.

I've ordered a custom length line for my K3 using the online order form.
Asked a question about how to measure length, response was quick [overall with fittings, he advised].  Line was made within two days and promptly shipped from NY.
Line looks great, however, I have yet to fit it, but do not foresee any issues.


Slingshot is still closed.

I got some measurements over to him last night of the set of Galfer Stainless Lines I have for the CB750F , Only thing is i think he mentioned he was going to use a double banjo fitting at the master cyl and my setup is going to use the splitter..... If anyone has gone with a double banjo fitting up top maybe you can send him the length of the lines used? I guess they wouldn't be too much different lengthwise from mine....

I measured the length I needed then just ordered Goodridge lines, fittings, and bolts. Most I got from Amazon Prime.

Also, I did 2 lines from the master cylinder. Other people do a single line that splits into 2 at a junction. This is more of what the Galfer (and other) kits will look like.
