I just installed 2" risers and 10" z bars on my xl1200c. the only thing I need is the brake line extended, can I just replace the top tube? or do I need a whole new brake line?

if extending the brake line is doable who sells them?

any info is appreciated.

 

I needed a longer line when i put my clip-ons on.
I had it made at the H_D dealership.totally bypassed that formed tube rubbish and had just a cable.
You guys in USA have ore choice of INDYS and i would think you could get one made anywhere quite cheaply

 

Replace the entire pipe with a stainless braided one. They are available ready made, or from any indy who makes them up from components. HEL and Goodrich are two brands I have used, probably others. They are even available on Ebay and in different colours now, if you shop around! You are after 'braided brake hose'. Get new copper washers and banjo bolts.

 

Off topic ..Maldreth Manor bike show tonight nr Royston

 

Sorry, but can't make it. I'm up to my neck in winter project at present, bike off the road. Sporty isn't taxed, for various reasons. Yes I know I'm behind schedule, but I claim extenuating circumstances! I'm squeezing a Deuce rear wheel with 160/70 tyre into my Glide.....

 

Shame good show...

 

Magnum Shielding build-your-own brake line kits work quite well
