I had some made @ the nascar place a few years ago.
I am planning to hit them again early next week. Cos I've had too many people ask me for em. $50 shipped or less in lower 48 is my goal.

I would like a show of hands, and I will get more respect if I ask for 10 than if I ask for 1, so please post here and pay up ASAP (I'd refund you if it crashes and burns or course) ...

The lines I got from them and sold worked out great, so the clowns have a part number for it so I believe and I can find it and order the exact same thing.
So order up, and these were if I remember goodridge ... I however am not sure I'd be able to get that so please dont have a fit if I get a galfer or somehting other than goodridge. It was 3-4 years ago.

I actually like galfer line, and for bolt on fittings I like earl. However swaged fittings are all the same, and Galfer/goodridge/earls etc is fine. Galfer bolt on fittings I dont like. Anyway, premade lines fittings etc are all same material form make to make, they are all steel.
Cool.

I'll make fronts, I'm pretty sure you can us it in the rear ... just wrap the extra foot around the muffler ...  :cookoo:
Dunno man, It can be looped and tied off somewhere.
Cool.

I'd like a front line. 

+1 on the rear being too strong already.  I can lock that sucker up by looking at it funny.

Is that with hardware and all?

The Buddha

Not bolts or copper washers, more than likely you reuse them. But the rest yes. I actually had copper crush washers last time. However I am not sure if I had to buy separate or they were in the package, and not sure I am getting the same type either.
Cool.

Bleed your brakes fully and keep doing it every year at least, or you won't see any bennie of these.

The Buddha

I do DOT 5. never have to worry about it, it dont take on water. However its not suitable for racing, I think it will boil at a lower temperature, however only with perfectly clean dot 4, as dot 4 takes water and turns cloudy etc, its much much worse.
I'd just bleed and replace most of the fluid via fill and bleed fill and bleed till its clear method, if I am not doing lines, cos you're not introducing air in, but once you get a whole mess of air in, just do 5.
Cool.

That's nice, cos 5 will not touch paint.

Did you ever get around to making a set of these buddha?

The Buddha

I found some old stock and sold it to gstwin people.
I am in the middle of too many projects to get with the nascrap clowns and get em to do anything. They require a lot of arm twisting. Sorry. I may get on it when we have a few of these dumb projects done ...

Anyone wants an XS650 almost complete in parts for building into a bobber.

Cool.
