brake lines are dangerously split

My brake lines are dangerously split, I fear my bike has become a potential deathtrap. I heard that the local napa shop can cut brake lines to length, so I ripped off the old brake line and brought it there. Unfortunately, they dont do banjo bolts, and the hose diameter doesnt fit their machine.

Does anyone know where I can find a company that sells brake line cut-to-length? I need a custom length because my handlebars are significantly shorter than stock, so i need about 1 inch shorter than stock length. ALTHOUGH, is there a tool I can buy that would allow me to make the lines myself? There are no custom bike shops around my area and I am out of options.

Z1 Enterprises has a few options.

Goodridge SS braided hoses are what I use- absolutely no complaints (other than the $20 premium for the black color over the bright bare SS).

Using Speigler--teflon coating in many colors over braided stainless.Good stuff.bj

A hydraulic hose shop should be able to make the lines for you, but Z1 would probably be cheaper.

if you ride without brakes you get what you deserve
please get your shit together

No need to say more...

I just had 4 lines made for my 1100. They were 30.00 each, which I thought was reasonable.

Woah those spiegler lines are nice! And, dont worry, I do "have my shit together". Bike has been de-comissioned ever since I discovered the crack in my line.
