I need a brake line. anyone have one? was created by harm
I need a brake line that runs from the front master cyl. to the splitter on the lower triple clamp. 14.5" -16" long would be perfect!
Thanks in advance!

They are your brakes. Get some stainless. Get a Dennis Kirk catalog. I can't remember if Z1 Enterprises has them or not. Try there first. Replace all old hoses with stainless. The older brakes need all the help they can get. Worth the extra cash if you're not stuck on original and cash Flo permits it. Ya got to ask Flo!

I'm trying not to spend much money for now, so i don't think i can go with Stainless. I've been looking on Ebay but haven't found one the right length and price.

cheap used brake hose = expensive funeral...
$20 is too much to spend on a safety item... hmmm.

Just make sure you don't get a used brake hose that has dried out. Not worth it. Save money elsewhere.

I have 3 or 4 of them lying around, but I won't sell or give you one because I just don't trust them and would hate to see you crash because the hose was bad.
I'm the King of cheapskates, but I have replaced the front brake lines with stainless on every KZ I have had. I think it cost me $100 to run dual lines from the front master all the way to the calipers. Got rid of that pesky brake splitter that makes it near impossible to bleed the brakes though
Since I crashed last fall I now rebuild the front master cylinder on them as well. No warning, just sudden total failure.
