hi,
i will be installing a sport kit on my 79' soon and i would like to also use s/s braided lines....there is not a listing for the shorter lines... i seem to recall that the 81-82 lines may work as they are shorter as well....will this work or do i need to have some made?
thanx

Contact Galfer.com. All they need are the measurements and their turnaround is only a week. Mine are great, front and rear, although I don't have the sport bars.

Only the one running from the master cylinder is shorter. The two running to each caliper are still the stock length.

Take Terry's suggestion and go to Galfer (you can get color covered SS from them) and do away with the junction under the horn.Get a double bolt when you order and go direct to each caliper.We bought blue covered SS for our 82's and they look great.

Also,when using Galfer USA ask for Sandro and ask for a discount!

I have a spare set of original Spiegler Braided Stainless Steel lines. As they were made for the Euro CBX, they have the proper length for the Sport Kit. It is a total of 3 lines with metal washers. Color is silver.
Don't know how they would compare with the Galfers pricewise, but I am asking $150.00 including shipping in the U.S. Send me a message if you are interested.

Dave,
Are you replacing the original sport kit hose or just don't have one? I'm either looking for the sport kit hose length in inches or to buy one. Let me know if you have one available.
Thanks, Chinster

chinister..
my sport kit is NEW... however i am not willing to part with the hose .. but i gave all the measurements to santos @ galferusa.com so they will make you one...and they may even offer a kit for 79/80's with the optional sport kit lengths.

Dave, thanks for the Galfer info. However, I was looking to maintain the original sportkit look with the rubber brake line. Can you give me the length in inches from the centerline of the banjo to banjo? This way I can try to cross reference a brake line from another bike.

Thanks, Chinster.

chinister,

Dave, I fully understand. Please give me the re-measured dimension from centerline of top banjo fitting to centerline of bottom banjo fitting and I'll try to cross reference to another bike's brake line. There's something anal about staying with a rubber brake line to look original, isn't there.

Oh well....Thanks, Chinster
