Longer front brake lines ?
Where I can a guy find longer lines for out front?
I'm going to rise my bars one way or another and need longer front brake lines.

When I did it I raised the bars, then measured up how long a line I needed. Went to a local hydraulic line supplier and they made it up for me while I waited. Wasn't too expensive either. I believe about $50.00 Cdn with 4 fresh crush washers.
I raised the grip height by about 5" and back 3". I was able to reroute/stretch all other lines and cables. Only had to replace that 1 line. I positioned the throttle cables so that they come off the bottom instead of looping up and forward as they do in the stock position.

You can go 1 and 1/2 inch without extending them. I had that setup using two sets of helibars for a while.

Thanks guys.
I'm going to either stack more helibars, fab something like ratbyk did or get a used spiegler triple tree.
As much as I love to do track days on the 14 I'm setting it up more for sport touring.
i'll price the local hydralic shop as the Dude is a drag racer and they do SS brakelines too.
