    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.

Well that is a twist I went and looked on-line at Bikebandit and the such. Looks like teh brake line for my '80 GS850G is NO LONGER AVALIABLE!! What do we do if it is the culprit?? :evil:

I've never tried this, but some of the auto parts stores (the "majors" like NAPA, not the discount places like Auto Zone) can make up hydraulic lines on the spot. You'd probably have to take your original line in to make sure they got the right sized banjo fittings.
 
Are these safe??

Are these safe??

How do they put the end fitings on, pressure fitted :( ?? Do they just make the rubber lines or braided also? :wink: Anyone know of a company that makes aftermarket lines for our bikes?
 
hm. something to think about-- anyone have a suggestion for a location to get prefitted aftermarket lines, or am i kinda out on my own?

i remember seeing bwringer's series on making braided lines, and that might end up being the route i follow.

the reason for rebuilding the caliper isn't because it's not working right, one side of it is damaged. one of hte pistons is all lopsided.

Dude, did you have a look at my lines in Falmouth that day? Last winter I bought a set from Paragon Performance in California. They are the real deal- nice, nice lines. Steel Braided poly-encased brake hose with crimp fitted nickel alloy banjos. They even supplied all new Goodridge banjo bolts and copper washers. I got the whole six line setup, front and rear for $219. Call 'em up and tell them what bike you have, chances are they have the template already, and if not, you might get a discount for letting them use your lines for a template.
