Hi All,
Wanted to pass along some info, I needed to replace brake and clutch lines with braided but wasn't interested in the "one size fits all" approach and wanted to retain the factory hard lines, mounts and look. So in my search someone here mentioned "Brake material & parts" out of Fort Wayne, Ind. (260)-426-3331 and spoke to Scott.
I sent him the brake and clutch lines with all the mounting bushings and hard lines still connected from a buddies bike. He called and said he could do the job and keep it stock in appearance so we had him make 2 sets for our bikes.
A week later they came and we installed my buddies set, and we must say they fit like a glove, retain the factory hard line over the fender and all mounting bushings fit perfectly. The quality in my opinion is A-1. Although we did not take pics of the install I will be taking them during the install on my bike.
Now for the big question, how much$$$. I paid $260 with shipping for one set. I know some will say that's a lot when you can buy off the shelve lines and get close and just tie up the excess under the body work and run two separate lines for the front wheel. Which is what my buddy did on his old ST1100 about 10 yrs ago and he remembers pay in the $150-170 range. For us it was worth spending a few extra bucks. I know this will not be for everybody but wanted to put out this option to fellow ST"ers.
