braided lines...

Post by Sascha » Tue Nov 23, 2010 10:13 pm

Hey Guys,

So I want to replace the lines in my bike with braided lines to I dont get kinks, anyone know what sizes I need or where I can get these to fit on a 66 Honda 305 Dream!?

Probably have to go with custom cables from a maker like:

Yep those are going to be custom and probably $75 (or more?) each I'm guessing.

The best way to keep from getting kinks is to make sure there are no sharp bends in the cables as they are routed, and proper length of the cable is probably the most important.

Some local shops can make up cables of any length, but probably not in the braided variety.
