Thanks for the info Spanners. This bike was 100% stock when I bought it, I'm trying to fix that.

I guessed correctly that Slow&Low has stock lines and was thinking of altering them, not replacing the whole thing, which I think we can both agree is what he should be doing.

You are more than an hour away from Mt. Vernon?

No, I was unaware that the oem lines were all one piece. i thought that they were in sections. I would never try to just splice lines together just to get the length I need.

Mt. Vernon is about 2 1/2. Effingham, Evansville IN and Terre Haute IN are about 1 1/2. I prefer not to spend my money at a dealership unless it's a last resort.

Do you have any race or high performance shops around you (car or bike or ATV, for that matter )? They can make the lines you need....

You can always get what you need from J&P if you need to.

Just make sure you get your measurements right.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Anywhere outside Cook County is southern Illinois.
