Looking for Stainless Steel brake lines

I have been searching the web for stainless steel brake lines to replace my original rubber lines with but have not had any luck. If anyone can supply a web link or a phone number to a company that can supply brake lines for vintage kawasakis, I would be thankful.

I picked mine up from a local, aftermarket bike parts supplier. Mine are from Russell and they can be ordered in a wide variety of lengths that come in one inch increments. Russell also sells the various angled or straight fittings, banjo bolts and crush washers.

Simply google Russell Brake Products and you should be able to find a supplier.

Check out www.helusa.com and talk to Craig. He will verify the lengths and the overall price is competitive with the DIY parts.

This guy seems pretty good. I've talked with him on the phone. Once I get my front end sorted I'm going to take it down for him to do a custom measure.

I have Galfer lines, I think on my TL1000R, but this guy is right down the street from me and seems to be a pretty decent guy.
