Does anyone have Spiegler brake lines, and can you accurately measure tho OUTSIDE diameter? Needs to be an accurate measurment, without compressing the line, as in MM or thousandts of an inch?

Thank you Phil for making me some of those blocks in your pics prior in this thread, you da'man!!

For everyone I have another question that I need help on...
My bike is an ABS model, for those of you that have ABS did you re-use the blocks where the soft line and hard line meet?? There are 2 of these connections up front and one on the back, see pics below...

I hear you ZG when I called Spiegler about my clutch line, they said send us your old one and tell us how much longer you need it?
Now I under stand the how much longer you need it , but someone should sell Spiegler lines and know what ends and lengths we need instead of every time someone wants a line they have to start this **** all over again?
The lines only cost about $50 some, I guess not enough mark up for anyone to care?
I would say lose those blocks , that is what I was going to do , But I know nothing about these lines (blocks), so my opinion is worthless, anyone know for sure?

Well I dropped my Connie off at the shop today, they're pulling all my lines and shipping them to Spiegler so that they can make me up a matching set in smoke colored braided lines with black banjo's...

I still need ideas/thoughts on these blocks below in the pics I posted, if I can't find a solution I'm gonna have to tell Spiegler to some how re-use those blocks, those connections (blocks) are needed for the hard lines to connect back into the soft lines for the ABS I believe... $:-\$

Why do I feel like I'm always the guinea pig with this bike...

After scrolling through all 20+ pages of Kawasaki, I am not seeing a kit for an 09 Concours. It is possible that I missed it, all the numbers started blending together after about 4-5 pages.

Yeah, alot of pages to go through. You may have to custom order it, had a friend of mine have to do that. A bit pricey for me but some just have the money no object state of mind.

To be honest I did not hook the new line up yet I just unbolted the top blocks to get enough hose so I could use the bike
I just looked at the clutch line and you could order the same line as the brake line and you will have PLENTY of hose, that is what I'm going to do .
Now If you want to get real annal I guess you could send in those lines and see IF they have a block to put on there to match OEM ,(so it would be REAL secure) I would send pictures first if that is what YOU want to do, but It looks to me that you unscrew the hard line from the block and then attach the new line to the hard line with out blocks, because it is a female fitting on that end that looks like it will fit.
I bought the LSL handlebar kit used it did not come with Instructions , but Spiegler said LSL calls for this part #?
I'm sure others on this site have done the LSL conversion ask them , on the other forum, cog-online that guy started a thread about LSL's ask him about the blocks.

Already have (spent money on more worthwhile), running out of things to buy for this bike...

You don't have a tyre hugger yet do you, solo boy?
