Mine are Russell (Edelbrock ?) that I ordered out of the back of a Cycle magazine.

I've ordered brake lines from Paragon several times, good price and good quality. They'll also make their standard sized lines to spec, if you want one of the banjos rotated 45 degrees or something like that. No extra charge for that in my experience.

Just measure what you've got and order up.

I got my SS lines from Z1. I just took my lines off and measured the length. You'll need to get the correct angles for the banjo bolt connectors.

+1 on Paragon, they have a lot of our bikes. If they don't have them, I think they ask you to send in your old lines, and then they duplicate them. That way they have a new pattern.

What is the advantage to AN for someone who IS willing to make their own? From a quick look it seems like a 3ft hose with 10mm banjo fittings would cost about $28 from Paragon and $48 from AN and then you could assemble it yourself... am I missing something here?

Paragon PP-23336. 36in 10mm banjo to 10mm banjo $28.40
AN Plumbing. 3 feet of hose, two hose ends and two banjos @$48.

AN Plumbing is a great way to go. The hose is $3/foot and most of the hose ends are about $10 each. How are you getting to $48? Also, that Paragon hose you reference has two straight banjos on the ends which is not ideal. When you make the hose yourself you can pick whatever angle hose ends you want.

$9 for 3ft of hose
$21 for two hose ends
$15 for two straight 10mm banjo fittings

$45 from what I see. I think I chose one angled fitting the first time around.

Maybe I'm choosing the wrong components? I chose straight banjo fittings for a more direct comparison. I picked the -3 speedflex line, the speed seal AL hose ends and the straight banjo fittings. You do need hose ends for the banjo or other fittings to attach to, right? I've never built up any of these lines but thats how it looks.

I didn't order direct from them (I I can't recall the reseller I used), but HEL does make kits for these old bikes that bolt straight on. I spent less than $100 for front and rear.

Earl’s makes bolt on hose ends that have the banjo built in for about $10 each. They also sell premade hose that already has hose ends on them, but you need to add an adapter to add the banjo – I think you are referring to these since the end result is more cost.

No, what I was looking at was bare hose + hose ends + banjo fittings on the site Chef listed. If I dug into the site further I'd probably see what you mean but the computer I've been on the last couple of days is painfully slow. I don't want to wait a minute for each tab to load..

Still sounds like it would be about a wash though, $9 in Earls hose + $20 in banjo hose ends + assembly or $29 for a pre-made hose. They'll use different end fittings for the difference in cost too so it would probably be about $32 for one straight and one angle.

... this horse dead yet? However you get them or make them SS lines are the way to go.
