Looking for a longer front brake line setup for a street rod. Getting ready to change the handle bars.

If you don't have anything, but know a good vendor - please let me know

thanks Kevin

Kevin,
Have you found the longer brake lines yet? If you have, what are you going to do with the old ones?

I have a stock R front brake line and it won't fit the A's with Brembo's :deal:

Why? Is it the way it mounts under the triple tree or because it is shorter than an A model with stock handlebars? If it's just the length, I am running dragbars, so I could use some shorter lines for the brakes, from the triple tree to the handlebar master cylinder.

It's shorter and I have HD drag bars too. :deal:

 

[skipmccall]

How much shorter is it? The stock brake & clutch lines were too long for my dragbars and I had to reroute and bend the hard tubing to get them to fit better. The dragbars in your gallery are HD Vrod dragbars which are taller than the ones that I made. These are mine, look here:

What kind of bars are you going for??

Not trying to hijack this thread; but ... I still have a pristine set of Cyclesmiths V-rod 1 1/4" handlebars for sale. I even used the stock cables and brake lines on the conversion when I had them on the VRSCA. The new owner wanted the stock bars back on the bike since she has short arms. Check out the Classified, For Sale section if interested.

Good luck on your conversion.... give the stock lines and cables a try, though.

The front brake line comes off the Brembos at a different angle compared to the stock calipers. The stock R front brake line is too short from the triple trees to the brake master cylinder, it won't work on the A's with Brembo's. :deal:
