I'm over hauling a set of swing arms and have noticed that the brake and flexilines are corroded and the rubber perishing.

Can you buy these brake lines pre-made or do i have make a set up..?

any comments would be welcome.

Can get replacement hard lines from BMW, but its not hard to use your old ones as patterns for knocking up some yourself out of kuni. Might aswell replace flexis with braided stainless steel lines while your there.
