Hi - there are a number of places, but you don't actually say where you live and the year of the bike. I'm guessing the UK or Oz and maybe an '81?

Have you thought about stainless?

Note: A&S only send to the US - and interesting - I can only find part 883.....

I took my brake line in to a local automotive brake specialist and they made one on the spot at  half the price I saw anywhere else.

Thanks guys, I am in the states, great link unfortunitly though

go a stainless braided line - you wont be disappointed. Heaps better feel and power .

Also consider sintered pads for extra bite on the disc itself.

Thats sounds good, I am tripping over myself trying to find one that fits though, is there a make, or part number that would help.

I had a hard time finding one for just the application you mentioned. I took the old one to a local hydrolyc(sp) supply and they made one up on the spot for $16. I 'spose they could do it in stainless braid as well. Good people http://www.lubequip.com/

Spiegler, has braided stainless lines for BMW bikes.

They have several listed without any dimensions for R65's, contact them and see if they have any additional information about lengths, and what fittings are on each end.

Looks like they have 'banjo' type fittings, which would require you to get 'banjo' bolts and copper crush washers.

Thats it, thanks Rob
