I used http://www.paragonperformance.com/ about ten years ago, and they were very good.  I bought separate components for flexibility rather than having custom hoses made up.  When I installed my clip-ons, and subsequently my low-rise GP-bars, I was happy to have the ability to rotate the components and avoid interference.

Excellent! THanks all. The only kit I could find was on www.oldbikebarn.com. It looked like they were on sale for $88.

Go to your local dealer and have him/her price you up sets from all of the major aftermarket suppliers. My kit for Sophie, with Russell 32" line and attachments came to about $50cdn.

You should probably mention that, by "kit" you mean a single line, because 2 lines will run you more than that.  My HEL line was around $50.

Good point. Yes, there is only only line on the CB650.
