    I found him on ebay and got lines for my 250R. They are the nice clear coated lines. All you have to do is send him the length you need. I paid $37 for the front and $25 for the rear.

    Streamline sells on ebay for about $50, they come with the ends attached and new (plus extra) crush washers!

    Bunch of Harley riders out here get braided wire from an electric supply shop. They use them to Jacket over existing hoses, they work like those Chinese finger traps...the guys just sleeve them pull em tight and hose clamp them off...

    it's all suspended animation, but it's inexpensive and gives you the look of braided hoses

    Personally I'm going for function rather than looks and am having issues locating anything as well.

    Anyone try the goodridge universal braided lines? You buy the line in the length you want and then buy the banjos that just screw into the line...or so it appears to me. Found some on jpcycles.com and was considering giving them a try. I know the front line for my '86 should be between 46" & 48" and that I need the 10mm banjos (35 degree & 0 degree). Looks like the have a 47" line so I'm guessing it would work. Any thoughts????

    I've noticed no difference in function from my stock lines, anyone else? I mean the breaks work just the same, from slow stop to lock-up skid I can't tell any diff... but they look good / less obtrusive.

    A good SS line will be way more stiff and responsive than a rubber line because there's no "swell" from the pressure. All of the power goes to the caliper.

    I swapped out my original rubber lines for braided SS (Stainless Steel) about a year ago, and I noticed a huge difference in the stiffness of the SS ones. If you're comparing a SS line to a new rubber line, you may not notice much of a difference, but once that rubber line gets a few years old & stretched out a little bit, the brakes will get a bit mushy.
