Howdy All...

I'm looking to clean up the front end of my '05 FXST and would like to replace the master cylinder end of my S.S. brake line with a 90 degree banjo, as well as loose a couple inches in length. Any ideas where I could have this done?

Okay... Before the "replace the whole line" birds start singing... A custom length line or a completely new line is not in the budget unless the cost for replacing the end is very close to the cost of a new S.S. line...

 

I think you have two choices, one cheap and one costly.

The cheap route is to obtain a fitting like you want with a "reusable end", cut the line and build your own. You should be able to find a 90-degree banjo fitting on e-bay or some such similar place. I am sure it is a -3.

The better and more expensive way is to purchase a custom line in the length you want with screw-in fittings, or a new custom line made line from a GOOD source such as Paragon Performance.

You are "wanting to have your cake and eat it too". Anybody that can change the end and shorten the line in a manner that will look like it came off the shelf...is going to charge you about as much as you can pay for a new line in the length you seek with the fitting you desire.

The build-your-own will suit your need, but you may not find the reusable fitting attractive either. I'd spend my idle time poking around on e-bay looking for a ready-made line for a bargain.
