Default Internal brake line question

I've searched quite a bit and looking for anyone with recent experience on installing internal front brake line. I have 1.5 Carlini's with internal wires and Exile throttle (currently on bench to be installed on bike when it warms up a little more). Having to run the internal break line and wondering if a single Russell Pro II or a two piece Magnum (separate upper and lower braided lines) or maybe the upper should be the Russell and the lower the Magnum. Any recommendations on the latest evolution would be appreciated.

Looking forward to warm weather here in Chicago...

Thanks, robc

I don't really understand what you are asking but I just got done installing the russell internal brake line yesterday. If you have a specific question let me know.

I'm not far off installing the Russell 2 stuff, I'll let you know how that goes if I get round to it anytime soon, I'm interested to find out if it makes much difference to brake lever feel, I'm also running a PM 6 piston caliper.

I'm in the build process with my 16" Carlini apes also and will be using the Russell Pro II line.

Do you guys have a part number for the Russell that your using. Right now the front brake on the Deluxe is a single line. I'm sure I want to go with the Russell inside the bars, but not sure I wanted the skinny black Russell running out the bars down to the caliber. So I was contemplating perhaps plumbing the Russell out of the MC through the bars out to the gooseneck and then transitioning over to something nicer like the Magnum Shielding lower https://www.magnumshielding.com/Non-...es/brake-37008.


In any event, I need to get straight out of the MC into the bar with the Russell so any part nos. you guys know of would be helpful.


Thanks,


robc
