Default 1pc brake line question

I've been trying to research this, but haven't had any luck. I'm hoping someone can shed some light.

I need a stock looking, non-braided, non-stainless, front line.. completely one piece.

I've yet to do the measurements, but since my bars are practically on the floor I need something relatively short. I was looking at stock FXD bars in order to get an approximation for brake line length.

Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is if anyone can recommend a site where I can get something that fits my needs. Plus, a length and anything else I will be needing in replacing it, washers, bolts, seals, whatever..

Oh, and the correct fitting angles and all that good stuff - if its a non-specified line

I looked into Goodridge ebony, but didn't find a true one piece online. I was probably looking wrong.



Thanks fellas. I'm so glad we have a community that is willing to aid to miscellaneous questions like this one.

I bought a one piece brake line, stock black vinyl covering, from the dealer through drag specialties. I got a +6, but they had them down to -8 or so I think. I just told them what model I had and it came with the proper angle fittings for the master cylinder and caliper. Around forty bucks. It came with the bushings for the clamp mounts for the trees and new washers for the connections.

Auto parts stores used to make brake lines. Might try asking around at a real auto parts store and I'm not talking about Autozone.

Also try magnum shielding. They can custom make you one in any length you want. Kinda pricey over plain vinyl, but they have a black stainless one.
