Default custom front brake line

custom front brake line should be last piece I need to go
to four piston frontstopping power on my 06 SuperGlide.

Searched this site, internet, and the site sponsors for builders.

Probably missed an obvious one.

I need line from master cylinder on 06 WG mini apes
To dual calipers on 06 WG legs.

I am probably looking at custom Goodrich lines, just need to find builder.
Is it Goodrich or Goodridge??

Hoping to find a builder to fabricate a one piece unit to my specs,
but, I'll work with building up my own, if need be.

I've put together a lot of fuel systems, usually using AeroQuip fittings and hoses.
Never done brake lines, surely there'sno big difference.

Any suggestions, fone #s, tips, alternative solutions??
Will be much appreciated.

Can't you just measure the line yourself and order the components you need? I'm assuming you'lljust needone line from your master cylinder downto aT, and then two lines fromthe T to the calipers. Once you know the lengths of those three lines, you can just figure out the different banjo bolt fittings, etc. for the ends of the lines. A lot of companiesmake brake line kits where youcan order any length you need, and the lines have an-3 fitttings on the ends, so then you can order any fittings youneed as well.

Measure it for whatever length you want. Goodridge is the name. Just about every catalog vendor sells the bits & pieces.

Of course I can 2wheels. I stated above that is what I will do if need be.

I'd rather find a one piece line, but,
I'll probably be more satisfied with the equipment built by my own self.

Very nice lookin "SportSter" in your sig pic.

Goodridge. Got it thanx poco.

Yeah I hear ya. Earls, Russell, whatever, they all seem to be AeroQuip with anodizing and different part #s.
I think Earl's offers the fittings in black, I haven't kept up like I usta know what was what and when and where.
