WTB Clutch & Rear Brake Lines

[fz1don]

I got lucky borrowing stock front brake lines, (Thanks to Sportrider) now I would like to see if anybody has a stock clutch and rear brake line I could use to have them made in SS braided lines. I will be happy to pay you back for the shipping and will return them as soon as possible. It shouldn't take more than a week.

Wouldn't be cheaper to just buy some ready made? Non-ABS aren't that much.

As far as the front brakes, I didn't like the look of the two separate lines. I had mine made to look like the original single line with the splitter. They were considerably cheaper than the kits I looked at. Now I just want them all to match.

The reason for the double lines all the way to the calipers is to give more fluid to them from each line. Meaning, if you have more fluid to push in the two lower lines, going thru one line you need to push a lot more fluid. Meaning2, more lever pull, less feel, etc. I'd always want two lines rather than use a splitter.
BTW - No race bike uses a splitter. :huh:

With hydraulics you can only move the amount of fluid needed to move the pads. Once the system is filled and the air is removed, it shouldn't matter how many lines you have. You are only going to move the needed amount of fluid. If I am wrong in my thinking, I would like to see some more opinions.

Bustanut Joker is sending me a rear brake line. Anybody have a clutch line I could barrow?
