I am sad to say that Apex brake lines' fixtures do not match the threads of my 1980 cb650c. The only fittings offered are 10mm 1.0, which doesn't fit.

As far as I can tell, Spiegler is really the only option, and they still haven't replied to my quote request, so I can't actually buy it yet. :(

You should be able to reuse your original bolt.

What I end up doing is going to drag specialties, parts unlimited or tucker rocky and order the parts pretty much from any on line parts supplier that uses those distributors.   You can get hoses in any 2 inch increments. I use an-3 fittings an convert the calipers to take  10x1.25 banjos.  If down the road, you need another line, only have to buy the line.

I use a guy named California Phil to by parts from.

but I've used other guys also. 

The CB750s used 10mmx1.25 mm banjo bolts for the calipers.


One line, 2 banjos, and 2 bolts is about $85-90 and you can get about a 10-20% discount on that depending on who you buy through.
