    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.

    HEL’s race-winning braided brake lines, AN fittings, AN hose, brake calipers, master cylinders and oil cooler kits.

      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.

      five asses because it's far superior to having just four!
      Yes, I watched too much South Park!

        Wimp

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

        To measure is to know.

            It's more the fact that I want to get my wife on the back, and yeah, wimpiness

            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...
