Braided lines questions... Need your help.
« on: March 16, 2012, 07:22:35 PM »
Bday coming up in a couple weeks, trying to decide on what to waste $ on...  ;)
 
I'm looking to have some braided lines made up (F&R brakes and clutch), a question for you that have em on your Connie...

Did you just eliminate that square box that bolts onto the front of the upper triple clamp and just take out that connection altogether?  :-\

If so, did you then find a way to secure the line back to that general area or just leave it hang loose?? If so, any pics??

Thanks!

Use your money for something more worthwhile IMHO.

Can you post a pic?
 
I will also be having Spiegler make mine but this square block seems to be a challenge because I want to go with black banjo's and smoke colored lines but I don't want to have to re-use that silver oem square box...  :(

Nope.....just ride it and enjoy all the money you have already blown on it. 8) Buy yourself a used dualsport to compliment the C14, I can see you having some fun with that.

Already have more bikes in the garage then I have time to ride Poke, so adding another isn't really an option... This will be my bday present so it should be frivolous without guilt right??

Yes.  Trade it in for a black 2012 Concours :)

Either that or drive across the country to the Old Dominion and start throwing your money and effort at *my* Concours!

No guilt should be felt at all. :)

That's crazy talk. One can never have to many bikes to ride. But a dualsport? Not so sure Jay has ever seen dirt or sand on a bike. How about a Buell?

Black is HOTTER,  south Florida and black NO
I would have bought a WHITE ZG if I could have, my windshield  is down most of the time , I'm going to get a shortie for summer , It's always summer down here.
I need a seat cooler not heater, tell Corbin to get to work on that one.
Braided arm pit hair is in now, ought to try that.

Well, since you asked, and we all know how you like black. Here is a site for you, that will just possibly top off your ride. ;)

And I dare you to choose from one of their 19 colours ;D

Cheers man!
