Call up the Nickwackett Garage.

thenickwackettgarage.com/

He'll make anything you need. Even stainless braided oil lines, whatever...

Have 'em on my bike, fit perfect first time out, work and look great.

There has to be somone with access to Earls or Goodridge parts in your area...Picked mine up many moons ago in Readwood City.

Goodridge stainless is an option, plus you can build them to length without a crimper.

Many options and adapters.

I used the Goodridge lines from Z1E on the streetfighter and I'm pleased. I like the fact that they are modular and require no special tools to assemble.
