    350X Front Brake Line Semi-rigid Guard?

    I'm not sure why I haven't done this yet, but what can I use to cover my stainless brake line from the bottom of the fork to bottom of the triple tree? You can see in the pic how it bows out....drives me nuts. Looks crappy, too. Any suggestions?

    Also, what can I use from the guide at the base of the triple tree up to the top of the light guard? Feels like I may need something there, too, or it may correct itself when I add the bottom piece.

    (It's a mess because I just got back from a desert ride!)

    Thank you! That will help me at the top.

    Does anyone else have an application for the middle?

    I got 2’ of rigid plastic tubing from my local hardware store. The kind that would be used for a refrigerator water line, but a larger diameter. The tubing’s ID, wasn’t large enough to fit over the plastic coated SS brakeline’s OD, so I slit the tubing lengthwise, wrapped it around the brakeline, then put some clear heat shrink tubing over it to hold it in place. Just get a piece of tubing that’s long enough to go from the forkleg’s brakeline clamp to a few inches above the top brakeline guide. It works like a charm and looks factory.

    Red Rider, great idea!! I used both clear and black heat shrink to stay with my color scheme.

    Kris, it came out awesome. Looks like you will not have anymore cable-flexing issues in that area.
