Default Brake Line help needed

Basically I need to go from 12mmx1.0 Male to 10mmx1.0 Female to connect my ABS MC to my non ABS line. Any help would be great.

Cut the end off the line, remove the 10mm fitting, put a 12mm fitting on, and reflare the line. You'll need a tubing cutter and a flaring tool. Search "brake line flare" on Google.com and you'll find several tutorials on the procedure.

If you're not willing to learn, then get a different MC. Or buy a different brake line.

if you refuse to do a simple brake line flare leave your honda stock, it will save the next owner the headache of fixing all the problems you created.

then run down to the local parts store and ask for a fitting. when they say they dont have it pick up a flaring tool and read the directions, its like a 5 minute job.
