I took a picture of this brake hose guide last time I was at a dealer. The dirtbike is a 2008 CRF230F. I think it would work for all of our trike applications. Of course, it is available from Honda. Thoughts?

I have them on hand. Water jetted from stainless steel. Can be polished to rival chrome. White rings for 250R and black rings for 350X.

Lots of the dirtbikes have guides that look similar; Many Yamaha dirtbikes have guides too. I make my own top guide, (the oval one) and just PC it........

I bought a repro (not from Tundra) but it was SS with a white insert and very well made for the lower triple, probable just like Tundra's :beer

Can we get a little more info about the ones u sell?? Some pics or one installed but a pic from just a little bit farther away. If it's what I am thinking it is I need one for a 350X.

107876Here's a pic of the custom pieces cut from an OEM piece. I have a jig that I bend them in to hold the plastic rings. The 350X-specific black rings no longer exist from Honda. People can post prices from Service Honda all they want. If someone prefers the OEM piece for a restoration, I respect that, but these custom pieces far surpass the quality of OEM guides.

Aren't the correct ones discontinued anyhow?

I may not have one from T.W. but I have something similar; Updated type of plastic and stainless steel holder. I''m VERY happy with mine......

T.W's just don't look as polished, it may be that he polishes them after he bends them and the insert is placed inside the semi-circle.

Ya gotta love a laser or water jet :beer

Everyone should support well made and updated products for trikes; Get prepared for most everything to be discontinued.............

I've sold them on ebay, but no longer do business with that bunch of @$$&$. A friend of mine and I had these made, along with fender braces for the 350X and 250R. The plastic rings and the plastic pieces that fit on the frame under the front portion of the seat, also. I have sold polished guides. The ones in the pic are fresh out of my tumbler.

I'm having R motor mounts made from aluminum now. My current project build should weigh less than 230 lbs once complete.

I've got the white and black rings and most of the unshaped brackets packed up somewhere, gotta find them. This is what happens when your wife "organizes" a spare bedroom. She does this and then can't tell you where she put something. Anyway...I do have the pieces in the posted pic for right now. The black plastic ring should go to a 350X that's restoration-quality.

Prices (for now, until I "locate" my other stuff:

Stainless steel front brake hose guide: $12.00 shipped

I'll price the white and black plastic rings once I get my hands on them.

Postal Money Order, please. You can PM Billy Golightly about my trustworthiness. He trusted me enough to send me a short track tank kit in order to reproduce them.

I have no desire to rip anyone off over $12.00 or a stainless steel guide. PM me for my payment address. I'll pre-bend the pieces. This little stainless piece will whip you without my jig :)
