Stainless braided brake hose

Don't know if anyone noticed but Z1 now stocks stainless braided brake lines and fittings! You can get all the lengths and angles. We've discussed where to get these parts, will have to see if price is right. Z1 has always been pretty good with prices though...

Z1 brake lines

oh...my...god...
:blink:
Finished lines (with ends), sized to the inch (in length), very reasonable prices...
I'm not doing it the old way anymore...


EDIT: I just figured it out... I did it myself last time, with components from "Earl's", and I crimped it all up myself. Now, the same or similar components from z1Enterprises.com would have saved me $16.46, and I wouldn't have to do it myself... and what I mean by "doing it myself" really comes down to the hack-sawing of the lines, poking my finger with the sharp braiding, and bleeding all over the place....

Well, that solves one of my projects for this winter,,, WOO, HOO :woohoo: :woohoo:

Looks good. I've never seen hoses that the banjo fittings were not an integral part of before. Normally you buy a hose with the banjos built right in. Whether this system is better is hard to say. Probably work fine either way.

Thanks John, the braided SS lines would look sharp on my Cop bike:P

Actually, this is one (of the many) reasons I wanted to build them myself last time. Having the ability to set the exact direction of the hose without trying to twist it is important. The lines really don't twist. And if the built-in banjoes aren't lines up exactly right, your host can get a crazy curve or bend to it, or not tighten at all.

You need at least *one* side with a rotating connector, I find. And in this case, both sides are, making just as easy....
