Does anyone know what size and where I could get the correct fitting to mate a universal stainless steel brake line to the OEM 650 hardline on the caliper? Michael Morse said he could make up a line for me...but I am hoping to get it local...

If you are looking for "AN" hardware you might try Aircraft Spruce and Specialty. I don't know if it is going to be the correct flare though... Aircraft hardware uses a 37 degree fare and I believe that most automotive flares are 45 degrees.

Over here, go cart shops make up braided lines! Could try one of them.

Some NAPA store's here make up all kind's of hydralic line for cheap money.Let your finger's do the walking around the local autopart's store's and inquire about if they make the line's. I know that Advance & AutoZone don't do it, but also Carquest doe's here in Ct.Also, there are kit's available at Snap ON & some plumbing supply shop's that are for swedging the line's onto various hose fitting's. You should be able to find someone local.Maybe a speed shop? Very Happy

A farm supply may have something, they make hydralic hoses for farm machines.

Never thought to try napa. Might have to do that. Going to measure up how much line I need this weekend and will stop by there and see what they say. Was hoping someone knew of a place that sold the AN -3 flare adapter to run a universal Russel SS line...or other similar line. The banjo end is no problem at all. It is retaining the lower hardline that sucks! LOL
