SS brake lines

Any suggestions on companies to stay away from?
I see I can get a Russel rear for almost half the price of Galfer. I'm a sucker for a good deal.

The Galfer dual line fronts can cause an interference between the extra long master cylinder banjo bolt and the right side inner fairing dress panel at full lock from what I understand. Because of the way I have my front brake lever adjusted, rotated forward almost to the max, I went with the goodridge lines to avoid this potential problem even though I would have preferred the dual line set up as it is what I have run in the past.

Get them from Roaring Toyz. They will be high quality, OEM fittings, and in any sheathing color you want. For a good price.

I received all my hydraulic hoses (front/rear brake, front +7", clutch +7") and my +7" throttle cables.

Roaring Toyz did a great job. The hydraulics are flawless, with the thinline crimp sections for a neat appearance. I put the front brake hoses on (2-hose, race-style) and it is very cool and fits fine. I don't have to tie wrap any sections of these hoses, so when the front end dives they will flex without binding.

I'll post pictures in my New Hoses, Throttle Cable blog post (in this section) this coming weekend.

About 2/3 of the way down your Profile page, there is a check box to enable Private Messenging.
