If you want the stock line and are okay with reproduction, J&P or other similar outlets should have it. If you want NOS, you might get lucky at a Harley dealer that's been around a long time and may still have some 80's stock. You can try a place like Bill's Custom Cycles in Bloomsburg, PA which has bought out a number of old dealerships and has a large supply of NOS parts. Check some shops in your area that deal with older bikes that may have parts or may be able to refer you to a shop that might be able to help you. Check e-bay - loads of parts there.

Just another thought...rather than J&P C h i n k $hit, you might consider Apple Hydraulics.

You can probably find a truck repair hydraulic shop that can make them for you...

That's my back up to have the lines "rebuilt". Thanks again for all the help.
