Just got back from Amazon Hoses, a local commercial hose supply house.

The reason for going there was to see what it would cost to get the front and rear brake lines from my Ninja made in Coated Braided Stainless.

There is a kit available for $118 shipped, but this seemed too much to me.

I go in. Wait in line, one of the techs asks what I need. I present the hoses to him and ask for a quote to have them remade in braided stainless. He takes the hoses. Measures them and then takes down some numbers. He then asks if I want coated or uncoated. I chose coated as these lines come in contact with painted surfaces and don't want them to rub through.

I take the paper that he scribbled the numbers on to the sales desk. Price is $52.xx total! So I put in the order. I have to go back tomorrow to pick them up as they didn't have the size fittings that were needed on hand.

I did ask for stainless fittings, but they didn't offer them :frown:

So, if any of you racers or bikers that want/need stainless lines want to save a few bucks, take them into your local commercial hose supply house. You may be pleasantly surprised.

I know it seems obvious to people that know about them, but a lot of people only think that they can buy parts/kits designed and sold for their vehicle.

This thread is meant to bring an alternative to their attention.
