Stainless lines and more from XJBikes.com

Bumping so more options show to allow choice to members looking for S/S Brake lines.

Just a Bump to bring it back. As the title is " Stainless lines and more from XJBikes.com" maybe we should start another thread that's sole purpose is to post link and order info. Then we could have discussions reserved for the other pages. JAT.

Bumping it again. In case anyone wants/needs to see it.

DOT certification is not at all what most people think it is. All it means is "We claim to do things the way the DOT says we should." It's not like some suit inspects a part every so often.

The DOT only really certifies whole systems and processes. That's it! So that hose, having that little rubber ring on it really doesn't mean anything really.

Techna-fit claim to be DOT certified as well....

I'm pretty sure the price of Chacal's parts is because of the DOT certification.

They're not just individual kit parts and it cost money for the cert(s) to be able to put DOT tags on the brake hose assemblies.

Hi Rasputin,
Thank you for all the effort you and Chacal put in to sizing and sorting out the SS brake lines. In the beginning there did not seem to be any vendors offering what we wanted. Now there appear to be numerous vendors making the effort to service the SS brake lines to older bikes not just the XS.

I am also wondering what, if any reply was made to the email. I know I did not choose the cheapest dude to get lines from when I undertook the task of procuring them but I do believe that I chose the best I could have. As, a fellow motorcycle enthusiast and owner I do think that Chacal,s lines are the best available to us. Your opinion may vary but I make no apologies for my thoughts. I hope everyone finds the lines and pricing they want. I also hope they enjoy the improved braking these type of lines provide. Ride safe my friends!

Any update here?

Techna-Fit

I did send an email to them with this concern. Should hear back from them soon. Will let you know the results.

Well, just so you know Mike, those grommets do not fit the Yamaha grommet holders, so maybe they eliminated them for that reason.

Techna-Fit

I received my Techna-Fit lines today. I am somewhat disappointed. Let me explain. As has been previously stated as to what came with the lines, I seem to be missing some of the nice grommets. As a matter of fact, there are no grommets! All that I received was 4 lines with banjo bolts and copper washers.

In all fairness, I am going to contact Techna-Fit and ask them if this was an error - or not. Will post my findings ASAP.

Mike-- I ordered the Techna-fits for my F over the winter. I'm sporting them right now, and they were plug-n-play. No problems whatsoever. Same price for mine, and they are great. I think Ian McD. pointed us in this direction, here is a thread about them.

Techna-Fit

The Techna-Fit SS brake line kit that I ordered for the XS1100SF Special was $91.00 + shipping. A better deal will be hard to find. Supposedly comes with new banjo bolts and copper washers.

Will know more in a day or so when kit arrives.
