Hello, everyone. I have installed my Lonestar -1 swinger and now my stock brake line is way too long. I have searched around and so far the shortest streamline or similar SS rear brake line I have seen is for stock length swingarms. Anyone have any ideas?

i got the same problem, my -1 lonestar moved my caliper from the back to the top off the rotor and my ss line is about a mile to long also. i havent looked into getting a shorter on but if you find one post it up for everyone will ya

I picked up an inexpensive line at Earl's supply, cut it to length, then put my own screw on hose end. They sell these at Earl's Supply or most speed/motorcycle performance shops.

You just wrap the hose with tape, cut it to length, (I used a high speed cutting wheel grinder) slide the nut over the braided line, peel back and flare a bit of the s/s cover, insert the ferrel, slide the crimping barrel over the exposed teflon tube, insert the hose end into the hose, and tighten the nut. Viola!!

An Easy Fix. I think it was $5.00 for the end...I picked the donor hose from their pile of miscut lines that had 1 good end for $5.00 too!! I got my $10.00 line :cool:
