SS brake lines

[ddeboer]

Does anyone know where I can order pre-made ss brake line kits for my GS1100? I've read some threads discussing custom made lines and fittings(Earls lines) one can use to build his own lines. A local bike shop said these lines were not a strong as crimped lines.
Are there any sources out there that sell ready to install kits?

Thankyou......

Interesting. Earl's claims to have a higher "pull-out-strength" than crimped lines. Strong enough is strong enough.

Z1 Enterprises has Goodridge crimped lines in 2" length increments (don't forget to order the screw-on fittings). I remember seeing kits specifically built for old Suzukis, but not where. I do remember the higher cost.

A bit of Googling turns up Paragon Performance. Prices actually aren't bad at all.

there are loads if you look on the internet, earls, goodridge, hel for example. dont know where you are in the world but i'm sure you should find one local supplier

The local Earl's store owner told me that too. They'll build lines for you with crimps if you want, but told me the others are stronger (although its a moot point since both are fine).

The crimped lines aren't any better - if they are stronger, which I doubt, it doesn't make any difference.

Paragon has made up half a dozen lines to my specification at no extra charge over the last few years. This last order was a little slow in coming but for price, convenience and quality I think I'll be using them for a long time.

+ 1 on the Paragons. I've had these on my bike for about 4 years and they're great. Mine were bought as a set, pre-made for 850G's. You can also make your own with Earl's parts, but I'm lazy.

I've used Spiegler lines a couple of times. They also have a very cool online configurator thingamawhatsit for building your own:

I have Galfer on mine, but they don't sell direct. I found the 3 line front set at the Chicago Bike Show for $75. They came with banjo bolts and crush washers.

I put HEL lines on my 850 3-4 years ago Great product, except the MC line was too short
