I was just wondering what sites/stores you guys would recommend for Stainless Steel brake lines?

I found some universal ones on Bike Bandit, and Babbit's Online, but the ends of the lines don't look like they're the same as what's on my bike. As fas as I know, the lines are stock, and they have the metal loop at the end. The ones pictured on those sites have just a female type end...

Thanks in advance!

Got mine at spiegler-usa.com for 65 + shipping.  I dont know if that is cheap or not.. i am happy with it though.

I've been on them for 4 months now... no problems.

Hey CliffHanger, that looks pretty sweet.  As a curiosity what fittings did you order? They didn't come with a banjo bolt correct?  Thanks.

I believe they were 15/15 (front) and 15/0 (rear) degree fittings.  I guess "G" according to their new system.
Also, I didn't have an option on the orientation angle, so I've no clue there.  Mine were straight, so it took a little wrangling to get them to fit.
They don't come with the banjo bolt, but I just reused the original bolts and washers with no issue.

Aside:
Just be aware that bleeding a dry line takes a bit of effort and practice. 
Speed bleeders won't do it because the air in the line compresses instead of being forced out.
You have to go back to the old "open valve, squeeze, tighten, release" pattern. IME of course.
