Can anyone who has switched to a Performance Machine rear caliper on a shovelhead tell or show me what they did for brake lines? I'm building a bike that Had one on the back and I don't know what to do for a hose. I can't find anything that will go from the standard shovelhead T by the tranny to the Banjobolt on the caliper. There's got to be a fairly common solution because i'm sure a lot of people run these brakes.
go on mid usa MC book on line - you need to be versed in ends and fittings a bit but one line fitting goes to the master ( you did not say screw in or banjo ) then braded in pre cut to lengths 10 inches 12 inches kind of thing to the front right side trans stud and attach the correct triple to that - Triple > one is the front line, one is the rear line and the center is the brake switch - then you do the rear with a banjo I believe they are 10 MM banjos on a PM caliper to the braded cut to length lines
the stuff comes in chrome and black its going to almost cheaper to buy another house to do that > just kidding
Just a follow up here, I did go with these brake lines. A warning though: I ordered a universal cable that was the length of a stock one, plus the two ends, which made it a little long. Itll work, just has to have big loops and be zip tied a few places
Tech tip for playing with custom brake lines, use a length of bailing wire or a coat hanger and bend & route it like you want to run the real line point to point then straighten and measure. Takes the guesswork out of getting the right length.

I just had one in here much like yours. I shot the line to the rear and looped it along bottom on brake anchor braket. Dont know how long your line is...
