Brake line source

Post by Coyote »

GT550. Anyone know of a source for OEM brake hoses? Eventually I plan to put the correct handle bars on my bike. If I do that, the braided SS line I have on the bike now will be too short. I figured I would just put my old OEM hoses back on. It's still nice and flexible and I wouldn't be afraid to use it. I was looking it over and found some cracks near the MC banjo fitting. I realize these hoses are 90% jacket, and I am sure it would work just the way it is. But it would be nice the have a new #1 hose. Of course these are not available -- in the USA anyway.. So does anyone have a source or are the obsoleted to extinction?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Many people have bought these, including me:

They are aftermarket but look OEM.

I re-tightened my cruzinimage line. I got about 1/8 turn before I was certain it was going to snap off. Still won't even hold lung air, let alone hydraulic pressure. POS
