I just extended the swingarm on an Apex by 6". Now the brakeline is to short. Any ideas?

Why did you extend it 6"?

Streamline brakes will be able to make to one.

Find a hydraulic hose supplier in your area. They will custom make the braided stainless lines to what you need. Even will make nitrous lines. lol http://www.colliflower.com/ is who does our custom lines.

Yah, I know longer lines. Have no time to order before next race, so I was looking for a quick fix until I get one. Thanks o4twinpeaks, I'll check out our local hydraulic hose shop tomorrow. And yes we are drag racing.

I'll try and do that this year. The main track we go to is BBDR Dirt Drags here in PA. The track record is 130.5 mph in 500ft on a dragster bike. That guy really throws the dirt roost.

Are you going to make the test and tune sat? We are going to miss this one because the next 3 weekends we are racing. Fuel is just so much right now its time to cut back a little.

Yes, we are going. Last minute prep tonight. No luck with the hose at our local shop, I'll just have to order one for next weekend.
