Sources for braided stainless steel brake lines
« on: May 31, 2011, 03:04:43 PM »
Spiegler and Galfer are both brands with solid reputations.  If you know of any other sources then please post them in a reply.

(They claim the S-BM0066 will work on a K1 too but the front ABS on a K1 is configured differently from a K100RS4V so I'm not too sure on the front.)

Galfer: PDF of Galfer catalog


Pashnit has some K1100RS Galfers with free shipping: http://www.pashnit.com/product/galfer/brake_complete_kits.html#top

Both Pashnit and the Galfer catalog say they fit 92-96 but that doesn't make sense since the 93 RS has ABS I and the 94-96 had ABS II.  I'd GUESS that it's probably ABS II.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

Another option is to remove all your lines and take them to your local brake/hose shop and have them make them on the spot.
I did that, taking them to the House of Hose in Spokane, WA. They asked me if I was going to wait for them or come back and pick them up. I asked how long they would take and was told 1/2 hour. I waited. 8)

When I changed to C bars, I had to replace the top front brake line, so I went for it and changed them all to Spiegler braided lines. The Spiegler people were great to deal with and the product is 1st class.

BTW, the Spiegler website asks customers to go to their local dealer. I tried calling mine twice (a Triumph dealer in Suffern, NY) -- both times the guy on the other end said he was too busy to talk and would I call back later. The next call I made was to Spiegler direct.

I got speiglers for my K75 naked. Great to deal with. I bought a clearanced set for a K75T from eurotech, and ordered a top line and a rear line from speiglers. Great service.

I still have the top line. It will fit a K75C or S. I'd be happy to mail it to anyone who needs one for cost of shipping and a few bucks towards coffee.
