Seems like something always needs fixed if you have a collection of vintage bikes.
Got my GT250 inspected. Went riding after that & now the front brake is getting increasingly spongy. Figure the master cylinder needs rebuilt. Am going to replace the brake line & rebuild the caliper while I've got it apart.
Any recommendations for aftermarket brake lines?
HEL has a kit for the '73 GT250 at a reasonable price. Anyone know what they mean by the "Stealth" option?

Re: aftermarket brake lines
In most cases you can take your old line to an automotive parts house that makes brake lines. Most of the time they re-use your fittings so they will bolt right back. Just use new copper washers when bolting them back in place.

Thanks. Hadn't thought of doing that.
