Hey guys.  Finally got the stainless front lines installed.  This is what I got:

looks good ...have you tested them out yet.  Best mod ever in my mind.  Love the polish too eh.... Brother Pat is proud.

Hey Steve.  Three rides on the new YZF600 front end, one ride with the new brake lines.  All is working great so far.  I've got a new line for the rear brake and waiting for the second clutch line to arrive.  The company I bought them from made the first one 10" too short.  Will post pics of the rest when I get to them.  May be after the Colorado rally, running out of time before we leave.

The polishing is another story.  A few 3 am nights with 6 am wake up for work.  Its all worth it though.....right???

 :good2: Looks great! I really like the black lines it's kind of stealthy. Nice fork brace, is that a stainless exhaust? Mods look sharp.
 Where did you get the lines and which master cylinder is that or what is it off of. Thank's for the info

Yes,  supertrapp 4 into one stainless exhaust.  Fork brace is two aluminum connecting rods from a small block chev. Machined them to fit the forks and welded them together and polished it up.  Lines from eBay, will check the vendor later. 05 fjr master.

Off for a morning ride in Moab in a few. Weather is great, should be spectacular!

Yes, Moab Utah. Had a great time there on the way home from Colorado!

The ebay vendor is called Eliteparts.  the title of the item says Linespro. I got a four line kit with lines for the clutch and rear brake as well.  The clutch line was made 10" too short.  They made me a new one and shipped it out to me.  It was in the mailbox when we got home from the rally.  Will post some pics when I get around to installing the clutch and rear brake lines.
