go to any harley shop and get some goodrich "sniper 2" fittings and custom make your own lines.

the tubing is 1/3 the diameter of n"normal ' lines and are 10,000 psi rated :fing02:

you get it in black or braided

all you need..

4 working brain cells.

8 , 10 and 12 mm wrenchs

a good set of sharp diagonal cutters.

new brake fluid

I got all mine from Spiegler, http://www.spieglerusa.com/brakes/cycle-brake-line-kits.html You can rotate the banjos...

I too, went to Spiegler. 2-line kit for the front. Rotated the banjos, don't forget the longer banjo bolt, and they fit awesome. Red ends with smoke lines.

Depending on how you have the bars adjusted, a double banjo at the master cylinder can come very close and even hit the gauges with steering at full left. Just something to look for at installation.

I recently bought some Venhill brake lines from the UK, great fit, it's a two line kit but they have three line with a splitter if you prefer.

Great quality, great fit and they look fantastic.

I got Venhill domed allen head banjo bolts, and while I found them to be quite attractive, they are rather soft as well.

I stripped one of the allen heads with a 3/8" drive allen bit using a 3/8" torque wrench, set to the recommended value in the FSM.

I want to say they were 5mm drive, but I forget at the moment.
