Re: re; 1100 RSL brake line

[Robert Silas <robert.silas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the '94 RS I installed 3-sets of bar-backs on top of each other.  The '94 RT cables work well, some re-routing needed.

  Do you have bar backs or risers? If so take the old line to local shop and
  have them add 11/2"- 2" with a new stainless steel braided line. I did and
  the cost was less than $20. Fixie problem long time! If you have stock setup
  look at another RS for position and routing, you're doing something odd.

  How old was that brake line? If I recall the manual correctly (and I
  may not) the brake lines are supposed to be replaced at regular
  intervals.
