Brake Line Part Numbers and Vendors???
« on: December 19, 2006, 06:20:15 AM »
After spending so much time figuring out how to make the bike go, I figured I should spend a little time thinking about how to make it stop.

I need a new front brake line.

I am using Clubman bars and have a brake reservoir that has the switch near the lever.

I also have a pressure switch that bolts to the lower triple trees. I plan on using one or the other and obviously not both.

The bike is a mutt of many different years and is a ground up rebuild.

Has anyone had a custom length brake line made with new fittings? The top banjo seems easy to find. Its that bottom brake line fitting near the caliper that is kicking my tail. No luck with denniskirk.com or edelbrock.com (they make the Russell fittings).

If you found something that works and have a part number and a name to call, please let me know.

I have used HEL USA to make my line. Very good work and was very reasonable compared to others. I sent him some pics of the fittings and they came to me perfect. http://www.helusa.com/

Another good thing to consider is that Hel USA uses stainless steel banjo and other fittings. So you never have to worry about corrosion like you would with some aluminum parts some other manufactures use. And I agree Craig is great.
