Hey guys, just about done getting all the parts for my resto, but one thing I cant find is the wire brake hose guide for the front brakes. I was hoping someone here could post a few good detailed pics of one, I'm planning on just trying to make one myself. Much appreciated...

I think I have a broken one if you want it, at least you can use the base plate from it. Give me a couple hours and I will get a pic of the one on my show girl, it is still virgin. Years ago I bought 6 new ones,, the only good one left is on the show girl :(

That would be great, I've never seen one, except in a couple pics. Do they just break that easily? Hopefully I can make it work. Thanks

Is there an equivalent guide found on a newer dirtbike?

Not that I'm aware of...sittinguy sent me one of his broken base plates and I just fabricated a new wire. Came out nice....

I've always felt that the stiff upper OEM hose needs that elongated guide.

I switched to SS braided lines and have a YZ white plastic readily available guide for it. It's a 2 piece thing - metal mount, plastic guide. If the plastic breaks, your out 7$.

It's for my 350X with the 450R swinger so I won't have pics until I'm done........

So one off a YZ will work also...please post some pics of it when you get a chance...I have a feeling mine may break in the future....
