I did something really stupid and broke the upper brake line guide on my 350X when I was taking the front forks off. I figured I would just pick one up off ebay for a couple of bucks and be done. Evidently, everyone breaks these things. The only one I found was new OEM still in the packaging and it had a buy it now for $300.00. I don't think so. Even when whole triple clamps and forks are listed, the guide is not on there. What gives?

There were some reproduction brake line guides on ebay in the not too distant past. I picked up one for myself. They were no where near that much. And that nos guide on ebay, is the only one I've seen in years, so it's worth it to the right person for their absolutely correct restoration. It pains me to say that there are some parts that you just can't beat being nos, but with parts disappearing every day, the price on some of the parts goes up.

I finally found a triple clamp with the guide still attached. Cost me $50 and all I want is the hose guide. Not sure what I will do with the rest of the triple clamp assembly. I bought a triple clamp and forks about a month ago but it did not have the guide on it. So now I have a spare set of forks and two triple clamps.

The ones on EBAY from S-Steel and an insert look great and I'm very happy with them.......
The upper guide I just make and powder coat. WAY overpriced used/NOS.........
