Default 76 shovel fx single front disc brake line picture

Anybody have a picture of the single disc(sporty style) front brake line routing. I have a butchered up one I want to replace and route the original way. Stock front end no over tubes. Even know were I can get one. Not a fan of stainless but will do that if I have too
Thanks

There should be a slight bend near the rubber. It is not there (original hose) because he had put some different bars and had to slightly alter the configuration of the line.

Had to replace the stock line on my 75 FXE (your 76 routes the same way and uses the same front brake set up - '74 to '77 and front brake line '74 to '76) because the line had rotted out from being in storage for over 30 years. I found a replacement on the fle that was NOS. However it looks like J&P may sell a replica. From the pic it just about looks like the one I picked up. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...hmmO0MNd8ES6mA
