    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone had a rear brake line duplicated? Not a stainless one made, but an OEM rubber line replacement? Or anyone have a source to someone that can build them????

Front OEM ones are still available but the rears are not.
 
Sorry Chuck.
I put SS on years ago.

I think a reputable tire/brake shop should be able to make one.
The banjo connectors may be tough to match

Have you asked Z1?
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but only the front lowers seem to be available. The upper isn't.

I'd love to find a set of stock lines too. The lines have date codes on them, so even if you find them the dates won't be right.
 
Chuck , I got a complete set made by a bloke in Tasmania (Aus).
They were perzactly like the original ones . Wire coils , wear bits and all .
Give me a yell if you want me to look into it .
I bought mine 7 years ago so I've no idea how much they'd cost now .

Cheers , Simon .
 
Wish you had a full on pic of it off the bike Rich ...I am fussy....LOL

Unfortunately, I am not on my laptop which has my pictures. I may have a better picture, will check as soon as possible.

The line is definitely thinner and does not have the ribbed cover. So if the OEM look is the only option, you will not be happy with this one.
 
Cant hurt to get an estimate Simon..If he is still making them. Im investigating possibilities for the rebuild we are doing. Brake lines that are passable will be the hard thing to find. That and a set of handle bars.

Seat covers from Pit replica are a no brainer. Other than these there arent gonna be too many things that cant be readily sourced.

Frame will be done this weekend and thats the entire chassis ready to start going back together.
 
There are local guys around Reading, PA who will make them to spec, they do antique cars and bikes....
 
Havent investigated them as to whats close. I did ask, about those Emgo ones but noone gve a concrete answer one way or another.

I measured my bars and they do have the 2 1/2 inch rise like the Emgo ones said. Once i get it back to a roller, I have some E bars for moving it around at least.
 
My local Aeroquip dealer told me could make me rubber lines with the correct fittings, about the same cost as SS
 
Any reason you would want rubber lines? You can get braided lines with a black cover on them.
