I'm looking into replacing the original front brake line on my '79 and I figure I'm gonna go braided stainless steel while I'm at it. I've found a couple options online but I figured I'd make a post to get some opinions on them.
1. Carpy's cafe racers. This one seems good and it's the one I'm leaning towards. the only issue is it says it's for SOHCs. are the brake lines different lengths between single and twin cam? If not, I'll go with it.
2. Spiegler. Another fine option, specifies for 1979. Available in many bright colors of which I would just choose black.
3. Measuring my brake line and ordering a specific length line off the shelf from a quality company.
If either of these options are preferable or should be avoided, I'd love to know. And if anyone knows about the possible difference in line lengths between DOHC/SOHC. Apologies if this is a silly question but I'm new here.
