I'm looking for some on-line part sources for my 1993 K1100 RS. Specifically needing brake lines for the beast. I do have Max's link but hope to have some other options. Thnx

Can't help you with K bike parts, but for brake lines you absolutely DO NOT want OEM parts. What you want is the PTFE (
Teflon) lined brake hoses with the stainless steel braid. These are typically called "stainless brake hoses".
Two sources:
► Galpher
http://galferusa.com/products/lines
Specials are not a problem
► Fragola
I order mine though
Race Part Solutions (561-375-6277). Then you build up the AN-3 hoses with the AN-3 fittings you need from the catalog.
Hints:
• You must buy hoses with the vinyl outer sheath or the bare stainless braid will eat its way through any plastic or fiberglass the line touches. I like
black since it makes the hose look like OEM.
• Buying one long hose that takes the place of all the OEM solid and flexible hoses is often cheaper and easier in the long run. A single hose is also easier to bleed.
• Do not buy stainless steel banjo bolts. They are WAY too soft and will break.

Galfer lines are nice. I used them on a Honda not too long ago. Excellent quality.
