Hi all,

I was a Honda V65 Magna rider, now I'm a proud owner of a 94 K1100LT.
I purchased her and am inprocess of assembling some parts mostly cosmetic. While testing the systems, found a leak.

I am need of a front brake line, it's the line that goes from a hard line to the splitter, it's about 14" long.

Thanks,

Take that brake line to any shop that builds them and get a new one made. You don't want any of our rickety old lines. And congrats and welcome!

Welcome to the forum!

I have the same bike same year as you and it's on my short list to replace all the brake lines with stainless braided. 15 years is getting up there for brake lines where you are so vulnerable in a failure. If one has gone bad, the others may not be far behind.

Yeah - what they said - you don't want used ones. Get it at a local shop or you can order from Spiegler http://spieglerusa.com/

Just another thought. Whether you spring for stainless or not doesn't matter. At least replace all the fronts while you have it apart.
Bleed it once and you don't have to think about it again for a year.
