brake line
last summer i had the dealer instal my new buckhorns because i needed a longer brake line. i asked them to add 4 inches to whatever they needed because i was going to put on 4 inch pullback risers. they added about a foot . my question. can it be shortned or do i get a new line.

RE: brake line
I'd check a new line and the cost of redoing the current line, may not be much difference. You'll have to reattach the banjo fitting to the shortened line also, but check both costs, you may find one is cheaper than the other.

Buy a universal Goodridge braided line in the exact length you want for about $25 and a couple banjo fittings for about $10 each. I wouldn't monkey around trying to modify a stock line.

You can do a lot better than J&P if you look around. Below is from Zanotti's using Drag part numbers for a 40" Goodridge Ebony line and 2 banjo fittings. Discountcycleparts.com has similar pricing.

RE: brake line
Bikerdog, what kind of braided line do you have? Does it have screw on AN3 fittings or is it a premade line with fittings that can't be removed? If it has AN3 fittings, you just buy a new line of the correct length and screw on your existing fittings. If it's a premade line, you're going to be better off buying a new universal line and new fittings and be done with it rather than trying to find someone who will modify your existing one.
