Cheap Braided Stainless Brake Lines

[stabor1122]

Well I took an ebay gamble this week. Wanted to get Stainless Braided lines for my hydro conversion but didn't want to spend a ton of money. Found a complete set of stock lines from an 06 Polaris Outlaw 500 for under $20 shipped. The lines showed up and looked great. They are silver with the clear plastic covering. Wasn't sure if the rear line was going to be long enough but when I held it up to the master cylinder and the caliper it was the perfect length with my stock swingarm and GSXR brakes. There is a slight offset on the banjo fittings and the Polaris banjo bolt had a different pitch than my GSXR caliper and master cylinder so I reused the banjo bolts from the GSXR components and twisted the line slightly to line it up. Have not mounted the front lines yet but I have no doubt that they will wok great too. Will try to get them installed in the next couple days and get some pics posted.

Look good so far. The rear was perfect for my setup and the fronts look like they will work great too although a little long. Under $20 cant complain. Looks like these come stock on the Outlaw 500 and the Predator 500.

Well these are about 95% installed and I am going to call it a success. The rear line was the perfect length for my stock swinger with GSXR master cylinder and caliper mounted on AWK's brackets. The front lines fit well too. The top part of the line was a little long so I just made a small loop under the hood to make it the right length. I had to use the Yamaha banjo bolts on the front and the GSXR bolts on the rear because the Polaris bolts have a finer thread. I did use the washers that came with the Polaris lines. They have a rubber seal built into they instead of the standard flat copper washers on my other lines. I just need to install my a-arm clamps when they arrive and a tab to mount the "T" for the front line. Not a bad setup. So if you are interested in replacing your lines With braided stainless ones but not so sure about the price of aftermarket ones, these would be a good choice. Got mine for $19.50 shipped. Here are some pics. Enjoy.

I had to put about a 4" loop in the upper section of mine because it was too long. The "T" on mine is about 3-4" above the top of the a-arms. You could skip this step and mount the "T" lower and gain some but I dont know for sure if it would be long enough for +3 +1. I wish I had measured the lengths before I installed them. I will measure them when I pull it apart to paint. If you found one cheap enough it might be worth the chance.
