I ordered long travel + 2 a-arms and I was woundering if the stock lines will work?

Also will aftermarket brake line clamps work with the stock lines?

I would think not, maybe they will fit and stretch but I doubt it.

Stainless +2 kit is like 75 bucks on ebay.

You have plenty of stock brake line for just +2s. Ive ran stock lines on numerous practice bikes. As for clamps ive never found an aftermarket clamp for stock...unless you consider a zip tie aftermarket lol

yep they will reach. I run stock lines on my t-pin that is wider than +2

yup, they'll fit. i run +2's and there's plenty of line, i also have 1" bar risers. I'd imagine if your bars were real high or if you had an extra long stem they might become too short, but they work just fine with +2's. Us guys that have run them know they'll work. Sometimes people give answers without experience, it makes it hard on you when you're looking for the correct answer, but take it from us who know. No worries with +2 arms. I used zip ties as my "aftermaket clamps". As mentioned the alba ones aren't wide enough for the stock lines.

I was going to say they would too but wasn't certain. One of my friends has +3s on his 450R and his stock lines still have slack in them. I was surprised.
