Which braided brakeline?
I'm nearly set to replace my KLX300 forks with a set off a KX250.
I'll need to replace the brakeline as well. Any recommendations for a good brakeline that fits the KX forks (1.25" longer than stock) and the KLX master cylinder setup? It seems I ordered a CR250 brakeline last time I did a fork swap. Is my memory correct?
I may be adding another 1.5 inches with new bars as well.

not for your bike exactly but ive built my own braided lines for 2 other bikes
used braided lines from summit racing
they sell pre set lengths and use an fittings
on the line itself the fitting is already crimped, you just need to buy the banjo fitting that screws on to it
the line is very inexpensive but the fittings are like $8 each
also the line is bare stainless steel mesh
where other brands have a nice clear plastic over them
not really an issue just could wear away any paint if they keep rubbing
but when you can build one line for maybe $35 (including the cost for the fittings)
or buy one with the same fittings attached for $90
well do the math
and if you happen to have those fittings laying around then its even cheaper
where i live summit gets the parts to my door in under 2 days and has great shipping prices
not sure how long they sell those lines though I did a scooter and pit bike so they use maybe 30 inch or less lengths
