Homemade brake line brackets

[veddersbetter]

Alright..this might seem a little nitpicky but the cheap***** wire ties holding my braided brake lines on my chrome A Arms just doesnt sit well with me. The wire ties eventually dig into the lines and scuff up the chrome....so Zfire_28 heard an idea and I implemented it. It isnt the best looking fix but at least the lines are away from my chrome and they arent constantly rubbing on my a arms. Little 1/4" strong tubing and a few of those gorgeous wire ties and behold......lol....just an idea

Granted I could have taken a little more time and made a cleaner install which I will do but I think itll do the trick.

That and for those of you that want to buy those expensive brake line clamps...look into clutch/brake cable clamps for streetbikes...appearantly they can be found for around $7 a piece. And there are places that make some pretty trick ones

I done the same thing on mine, they work great and hold up really well. Much better than $40 a pair for the billet ones.

I do the same thing but put a small strip of inner tube that I cut around the a arms under the zip tie. That will protect the finish and keep the zip tie from rotating around on the a arm.

Go buy some red colored fuel line like I told ya........It'll look lots better than that fugly clear tube that you are using;)...........

Maybe I should forge everything out of billet aluminum and gold plate it....dirt doesnt affect platinum like it does plastic. Thats it!!! Ive got it!!..for my next quad I will widdle a frame out of a solid piece of solid titanium with the nuclear powered laser in my garage....but see..what do I do? I may want to ride it in loose soil or hard packed dirt...maybe even sand or heaven forbid MUD! well Ill just have to build 18 different quads for all types of terrain and have a custom RV/trailer combo for driving cross...town to get to my next riding arena............hey whens that next peewee race? Im gonna kick some ***!!!
