Brake hose question

Just put drag bars on my 79xs and the upper brake hose from the master cyl to the manifold at the bottom tree is now way too long. Measured length of hose is 20". I need a hose of 11" for it to fit properly. Mikesxs sells one thats 17" but still way too long. Anyone know where I can get or have a hose made up that will fit properly? Thanks.............BG

Goodridge in the UK will make one any length you like, you just say what fittings you want..I woud suspect that they do it in other countries as well?

You might consider replacing both upper and lower with one long hose.

Same here, cant beat one length..when I actually use a disc brake that is.. Jakes right, we've got lots of companys over here making braided hosing for next to nothing..
