There are some great black armored cables and hoses out there, Bikers choice has a line of them. The best brake hoses are teflon lined. The teflon liner keeps the line from expanding as you apply the brakes giving the brakes a much better feel. I will look up the partg numbers when I get to the shop later. Hope this helps.

They are Goodridge Ebony 2, Bikers choice only lists them back to '94.However you can get the banjo bolts, fittings and hoses seperate. Just measure up your stock ones and match it to the catalog. Hope this helps

Does this mean hoses have to be cut to required size and banjo bolts & fittings have to be soldered/brazed on? Bungo

No the hoses come in different lengths, the ends come in different sizes and angles. Just pik out the size and angle needed for the ends then get the right length hoses. Remember to allow for the changes in length as the front end turns and extends.
