steel brake line kits..any recomended makers?

okay..lemme search em and see the skiny...i get my head wrapped around one plan ,and it takes some doing to re route ...i like the idea (very much) of building my lines to my bends and routing and lengths...also would bite to have them use a bend or fitting that in its final setting is facing weird ect....

if i could buy the lines and fittings to assemble my own needs ,in the colors i wanted,(maybe too much to ask on colors) but if i can get the kit or parts and build em right as i assemble that area anyways for other stuff....that will be ideal....

thanks guys...lemme look into those names

What were the price on the Galfer lines, if you don't mind sharing?

Another option: inlinetube.com/

I got a set of SS brake hoses made for my van. Pretty bitchin! High quality for sure!

I just installed a set of braided lines on my 1000 CSR yesterday. The 3 piece kit is made by Galfer. I purchased it online from Pasnit.com for $89.95 and it included stainless banjo bolts and copper seals, plus four extra seals. The lower lines fit perfectly - the banjos were installed at 90 degrees to each other just as the originals. The upper line I had to twist about 45 degrees to install and it has a slight twist, but not really a problem. The upper hose banjos should be installed parallel to be correct. Anyway I think the price was good for what you get and you can order in a large variety of colors for the same price. If you live in CA they will charge you 9% sales tax, however the shipping is free to anywhere in the US.

I ran into another problem: the sight glass on my master cylinder has a stone chip that turned into a leaking crack after I tightened the upper brake hose and removed the lid and filled the reservoir. I am going to order a new sight glass from here tomorrow. I found the link on the forum.

Since Pashnit did not have the rear line for my bike in the correct length (16") I ordered one from Z1 Enterprises. I ordered one 13" Goodridge line and two straight chrome banjos - the banjos are 1.5" each for a total length of 16". I have not received the line yet. The cost was about $33 for the three pieces not including shipping.

I tried to add pictures to my previous post, but something didn't work quite right...andyway here you see the twist in the upper line. I think it's acceptable even though it's not perfect.

I guess you can only add one photo per post. This is the junction block.

The caliper connections.

The complete picture, sorry its fuzzy...
