Default BYO brake lines

Anyone know of anyone who makes build your own brake lines besides Magnum (they're all out of stock until who knows when)?

Mayby Goodridge can help you out? J&P Cycles sells brake line parts as well.

Here's a link to one of their catalogs....

i went to my harley dealer and looked in their catalogs to build a few. I cant remember exactly what the fittings were called. They all were a special fitting that was plug and play to build what ever u wanted as far a brak light switches, t'-s and such. i think an entire front line that was stainless braided with a switch and a t was around $100.

yeah the dealer will have catalogs where you still end up buying them from JP cycles or what ever the companies they carry. I only found out because i was building a 1978 CB750. The guy seemed to not want to help me because it wasnt a harley and it wasn't by application. But thats the whole point of "custom" or so i thought hahah. Once you find out the parts you need you may be able to take those part numbers and find them cheaper online. What your probably looking for is something to this nature. just to give you an idea http://www.summitracing.com/search/b...FYSK4Aodw2Kg3w

I used Russell lines and I believe they were build your own.

NAPA, Pep Boys, or any good auto repair parts store caries generic line of different lengths, sizes, fitings, and hoses available. Measure what you need, go get what you need and make them. There are inexpensive tubing benders, size adaptors, and end flares and ferrils available. No big deal, remember, if it will hold gasoline, it will hold brake fluid,just do it. In the wind.

You've got options besides Magnum. I'm surprised that they are out of stock. I went with them and they were great to work with...I would also suggest Russell as well...
