s/s brake lines for my '84 vf700f

lnb001 · 05-15-2008, 08:42 AM

I've been looking around and can't find anywhere that sells model specific stainless brake line kits for my 1984 VF700F interceptor. I'm pretty much restoring this bike from the frame up and s/s lines came to mind during the stripping process. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I've already looked at HEL, and Galfer. They list products for many variations of the Interceptor but not specifically the VF700F. Thanks.

I used Galfer brake lines advertised for vf1000r. They work fine.

Speigler Performance is another option.

You can buy the parts and make them yourself!

Try www.brakes4u.co.uk
Look for Buildaline kits, these are all Stainless.
They also show you how to measure for your kit.
Use your original setup for measurements etc
Although this is a UK site they have stores in the US & Canada
Also do a very quick delivery.
Cheers

Hello,

Just saw this post, thought I'd add my 2 bits. I measured the f/r existing lines on my '84 700f, bought the closest (erring long) size Russel SS lines, & bought the necessary end pieces as well. Went with an extra long bolt at the frt. master cylinder and did away with the junction near the horn. Got everything from Donelson Cycles in St. Louis.
