Latest project; Radial brakes fitted to forks built up with new internals/ti-nitride tubes etc on the 916, everything done except the brake lines.

The standard lines won't work as the fittings need to be a different angle and the link between calipers is too short, thinking of 2 seperate lines from master cylinder to calipers, or if it needs to be split from one then joined inside the fairing rather than on the mudguard.

Probably going to need bespoke lines? any advice where to get - reasonable price and quick delivery would be nice.

pic of progress so far;

I've used Goodrich for years. I've not had a problem using Two lines from the master cylinder, instead of One.

I'm on Goodrich lines as well and have a single line from the master cylinder to a splitter block under the bottom yoke.

I've put HEL lines on a number of bikes. I'm pretty sure they do made-to-measure and they're cheaper than Goodrich.
