If you're going custom, you might check some of the local brake shops.
A lot of them will roll them into whatever length, you need at no more cost
than trying to do it on-line. If you want to do it yourself, try the harley dealer,
they (mine at least), have the build-it yourself Galfer (sic.?) display/parts, since
the harley crowd is always doing the funky with the ape-hangers.

Hey Sprock- I used speigler up in Dayton OH. Pricey but good stuff and real good to work with. I ordered the stock 1990 hose set and it was the wrong length for delink on my '94. Lesson learned, measure twice and custtom order.

Try a Harley Custom Build shop. They need bespoke brake lines!

Ern,
someone's swivelled your av pic. Did you know about this. I'm a bit spooked out by it.
2012 seems to have had some damned weird effects. It's no fun coming out of hibernation to this ****.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

So someone noticed that I changed the pic. Got a lot of 'creepy' comments from
the previous avatar, so I switched to the current one.

I have to say, it has amused me. When I told my wife, she laughed and knew
immediately which photos I was refering to. She called them the "good Ern/bad Ern
pictures. One has my face in the light, and the other with it in the dark.
I was wondering, since they are a series, if anyone had noticed the difference.

Hey:

I use Goodridge hoses, but many tractor trailer brake shops can make these on the cheap compared to bike shops. Also if you have a Nascar or Speed shop near by (You do) that you are friendly with they can help you out, as they carry Stainless lines in bulk as well. I also did my Oil cooler lines too.

Hell Yeah Dub - I sure do thanks never thought of that

And hey yeah CB2CBR - that's gunna be the issue measuring it out after
my new 3D bars go on - then get the measures precise at that point
allowing for the multitude of adjustments these bars have and making
sure the lines will allow for it !

When I de-linked I used HEL 1990 set.

The fronts were a tad bit long so I made an "X" up front.

You could just measure yours on the '90.
