    i've recently changed out my bars for some flatter drag bars and since the brake lines are too long and i've got to replace them anyways i'd like to move up to stainless stell braided lines... where have you guys found them?

    I tried to order from specII a while ago, but he was moving and had some problems with his email. I wound up ordering from old bike barn and they were a good deal more expensive, but they had them.

    I purchased a custom length stainless front line for my '82 Maxim from CycleBrakes.com,and it was about $80.I have found this to be a very good ugprade in braking performance and adds a little visual interest to the front end of the bike as well.
    Happy hunting!

    I bought mine from mikesxs.com. Simple as measuring the lengths and ordering. Worked great too. I also replaced my master cylinder through them. You just can't beat those prices...

    I bought mine from the local bikeshop out of the catalogue - got a premade 42" line and then fittings from Russell out of the Parts Canada book. Total cost was just under $50.

    I just measured overall length I needed, then found an Aussie on eBay who had the right size for $10 & shipping. Had the correct banjos, the clear pastic sheathing, and even anodized blue banjos!
