    Yeah I don't trust myself to make them reliably. I don't have a way to pressure test them except with my body

    I've been thinking HEL myself as they're only about $54 for one front line which is all I need, and apparently they're made only about 30 min's from me.

      I don't trust my ability to build my own, and have them hold up when it counts, so that's why I went with HEL. But for those that have the tools and know how it sure would save a bundle.

      Yeah the 82 1100E has 5 lines in front (two calipers and two anti-dive mechanisms) and 1 for the rear.

        Wimp

        Seriously now, they are easy to build and more secure than crimp on hose ends as a bonus.

        To measure is to know.

            Dunno if I'd quite go that far Don, but you pair are starting me thinking about it now...

            I'm gonna havta to get a dodgy home made ignition through the safety certificate, so if they'll pass that maybe the brake lines will be easy too...
