aftermarket brake lines

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?

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.
