Default Getting frusterated can you help ?

Looking for a rear brake line for my bike (was a 1970 flh still has the round swingarm) i dont know what its off of so its hard to look up
mesures 24 1/2 inches not including the steel or fittings.
not one of them with the banjo ends
And its on one of them so called banana calipers, it has the pads with the flat edges not the round
I would prefer to get a braided line (looks better and last longer)
I know this aint where to put this, but im at my witts end

Any ideas ?

You can check with Russell for brake lines on the internet. I am sure that there are other companies that sell steal braided brake lines out there too, just look around. Good luck with your search and ride safe out there!

Go to J.P. or Dennis Jerk. You can purchase banjo ends, threaded ends, what ever you need. Look at the ones that have "AN-3" fittings on 'em. Pick out the 2 fittings you need to go from the "T" (IF you still have it on there) to the caliper, then buy the length of braided line you need. They have the AN-3 fittings on 'em, too.

REMEMBER to take into consideration, the 'movement' of the swing arm, when "fingering" your length.
Magnum II Shielding, is "brighter" and shinier, than say, Goodridge or Russel, lines.

THIS will get you 'started' in the right direction, ACCORDING TO MFUO.

Get "con-fusst", post back, or PM.

Magnum WILL build you ANYTHING to your specs. Cables, hoses, wires, etc. BUT you won't need that, for your project.
IF you plan on doing 'front to back', by looking at the pic, use the 150* fitting at the Master cylinder.
