Cheap brake lines in GTA?

I'm putting taller bars on my HD 883C - anyone know where I can get cheap brake lines in the GTA?

I'm not at all worried about performance gains/loses - the single front brake is pretty laughable on the 883C... Just looking for something inexpensive that will do the trick.

It's non ABS and hooks up with banjo bolts. I'm fine with braided or standard.

Thanks,

TF

Just call up spiegler or galfer and get them to make up a set. They should have settings in their system for your bike, so just ask them to add X amount of inches.

I used Raymond for making several SS braided lines for both of my BMWs. Quality is good and price is low. He ships quickly; I get my brake lines by Canada Post within 1-2 days of ordering. He can also be contacted through ebay; his ID is coastguard1975. All of his lines use Apex brake fittings. The fittings are crimped on, not compression type.

why would you cheap out on break lines? GOOD break lines are not that expensive.
 
Any hydraulics house can make you brake lines. Take the line with you as they will not have the banjo ends you need, so they will re-use the ones you have.
I usually pay $20-30 for a braided line.
 
The OP is fitting longer bars which will probably require longer brake line, so reuse is out of the question. Prefabricated lines available from manufacturers like Spiegler will not necessarily work in a situation where customized line lengths are needed. In the end, he'll have to take the responsibility to accurately specify the length of line and which ends are required to a customizer.
 
I dunno man, why pay $100 when you can pay $35?

I'm not in a position to spend money unnecessarily.

What do you mean by cheap, cheap in Quality, well I wouldn't either, or Cheap in Price, this I would look for....

are the standard rubber lines found on most bikes cheap, compared to a SS brake line, or becasue it's a 30 dollar SS brake line it's cheaper than the rubber hoses found on most old bikes and probably most modern bikes of today.....

If the line don't leak and blow apart and the fitting is on good and bent correctly, what is there that is cheap about it, and if it meets the safety requirements and regulations, it's good to go.

I am not saying there are differences in one brand over another, but paying a hundred bucks for a line or 30 bucks for a line and it's from a reputable place with a good track record, I myself don't see any need for concern.

I paid 120 for 6 SS lines from Rennsport, have had no issues, and I feel much better with them, than the original 30 year old lines that were on the bike, even though those 30 year old lines did not leak, or give me any real reason for worry, other than the age.....

Then again most bike companies will tell you to change your brake/hydraulic lines every 3-5 years anyways.......

just my opinion....

Strange world, eh? Bad when it's expensive and bad when it's inexpensive ....

This.

If the line works, that's all I need. These things don't use super high pressure or anything - if it works, it works.

Again, the single front disk on my Sportster's 21" front wheel isn't much more than a novelty - high performance is not what I'm after here.
