Has anyone ever replaced the brake lines (steel) that come from the M/C to the back of the rear brakes? My lines rotted and the M/C isn't holding any fluid because it's leaking from the rotted area. If so how difficult was it? BTW Dealer wants more than $900 to replace this.

 

You could get your own lines and bend them yourself. That is a much cheaper route.

thanks guys I'll try it out!

 

Doing hard-lines is not difficult at all, however;

If you have never done them before, I'd recommend that you buy a bunch of cheap tubing and make up a whole bunch of "test" flares in order to learn how to do them!!

Buy a quality flare tool and bender. They are a good investment that you will continue to use over the years.

Defintaly buy a quality flaring kit if you choose to do your own lines. It will save you a lot of trouble.

 

The Snap-On or SK Tools flaring kits are fantastic. I recommend wire hangers to figure out where you need to go. hell, you never know, you might even end up cleaning it up a bit
