Braided brake lines

[ccdhowell]

I think I need braided stainless brake lines to finish off my tecate project. Anyone on the board make those?


If not where's a good place to buy them and what bike/trike/quad will work front and rear for my 85 Tecate?

Go with goodridge universal DOT approved lines. You can get the in darn near any length you need, and they just plain work for me on my dirtbike and both my street bikes. They come as the line with fitting nuts. the fittings you get seperately.
Just measure what you need for line length. The fittings add about 1.5 inches each.
I have gotten some really good deals on them lately on ebay, otherwise you can figure about a dollar an inch to 20 inches, and then roughly 60 cents an inch for each additional inch. I know a 20" line is about 20 bucks, and a 32 inch line was about 27 bucks. I believe the fittings are 10mm.

Go with goodridge universal DOT approved lines.I agree! Plus, you'll never have that annoying twist in the brakeline, caused by an end not being crimped on at the correct angle. With the universal lines, you can put the ends on at any angle you want. I used a Goodridge universal brakeline on my front end after I installed the inverted forks.

Is there a place on the web where I can just pick by size and end type instead of by machine fitment? I checked Dennis Kirk and it's by fitment on his site. Thanks, Chris

With the Universal lines......all you need to do is get a length, just take a length of hose, and route it like you want, and measure it, keeping in mind to add 3 inches for fittings,or measure your old line.
You could try Chaparral, or Parts Unlimited. I got mine from Parts Unlimited through my local Dealer.
The Goodridge site can be a bit confusing, as they have a lot of products.
