Brake line ?
Brake line ?
I'm getting ready to buy all my cables for my ape hanger project. I'm looking through the JPCycles catalog and can find idel, throttle, and clutch cables in +6" length no problem. I'm a little confused with what I need for the brake line. I can't find where they sell brake lines in + sizes, they all seem to be piece together kits. Can anyone give any tips or help as to whatI need to buy in order to piece together a +6" brake line? Will the stock banjo bolts be able to be reused?

I'm halfway through the 14.5" ape job right now. I have everything but the brake cable and will be picking that up tomorrow hopefully. Hopefully hooking up the cables isn't too much of a job.

The 52" is a little longer then I would have liked. Best bet is to take a piece of twine, and route it phrom the caliper up to the master cylinder, then cut or mark the twine, and lay it out over a tape measure.

I went with +6 cables on my 14.5" bars. phor the brakeline I believe I picked up the 52" line, and new phittings. You can reuse the bolts.
