| Superbiker Joined: Jul 2007 From: Camas, Washington I Ride: 05 zx12r | Sportbike Front Brake Line Length? Anybody know where you can look up the length of ss front brake line kits? (spiegler, galfer, braking, whoever...) ![]() After switching to later model radial mc and nissin calipers my lines are too long... Routing 'em GP style helped but it's a temporary fix at best, they're still too long up in the triple-clamp / head area. With the news about the layoffs, I don't have an extra two bills to get another set custom made. I'm hoping I can find an out of the box set, the right length. Thanks, |

I finally just said screw it and went to CG and ordered a set of ss lines from Galfer. It's not too often that I get stumped looking for information, so if someone posts up I'd like to know too. |

They could shorten it up and put a new end on it in nothing flat, and it would be the same if not better than new. |

They have done nitrous-hoses, fuel-hoses, and oiling-kit components for me - earl's, aeroquip, ect, etc. ...and of course, they do brake-lines too. |
