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
