Wow...I just checked out the prices for the chrome crossover line...$43+ is a bit extreme!

Try here for the Goodridge catalog;

Goodridge makes all kinds of braided line that you can cut to do what you need for your bike.

Worst case is you give them a call and ask what they have.

you can buy the (nylon ?) black mesh stuff that is similar to what factories use as wire loom, and on hoses...

I priced some wire loom a few years ago for making Audio Wires...
wasn't to pricey, and looks better than the standard hose.
just an idea, and there may be a better product that I dont know about.

I dont think any of the bigger companies are making a black fuel line yet. It takes them awhile to catch on..

I needed a front brake line quickly so I stopped by the dealership and they sold me a Harley one for about $60, it was in a Harley pkg but had a Goodridge tag on it. go figure.

I'm not surprised, when I picked up the lines I ordred from Magnum Shielding, their factory is only 20 miles away. I noticed a Harley cable display board on the wall and when I asked the lady about it I was told that they were the (or one of) supplier to Harley for their Diamondback series.
So when I got home I compared their Chromite II lines with a set of the Harley Diamondback I have and except for the price and the makeup of the clutch line I had a hard time telling the difference.

As for using the mesh check out this posting, maybe it will help you out.

I set it up for wires, but it should work just as well on a fuel line.

No problem, you really should try going through that DIY thread and the others in the different sections, Dyna, Sporty etc.
There are a lot of really great ideas that virtually anyone can do and they won't cost you an arm and a leg like nearly anything from a dealer.
Best of all is that you'll have the satisfaction of being able to tell anyone who asks where you got it, 'I made it'.
