Bueller's
I have a 96'S1.
Will a front braided brake line from an M2 fit my Buell?
I've had trouble gettin' any response from all posts.
I couldn't get the first Braided line to hold. I tried every way known to all my Biker friends to bleed it,but nothing worked.Help!

Check out Russell. If memory serves (sometimes not very well) they list them for the S1.

John; don't know about the brake line fit, but I always use a syringe when bleeding brakes:

Both Russell and Goodridge make line for the S1

I put a Goodridge line on my S-1 and it looks pretty cool.
Bleeding the front brake on the other hand wasn't cool, it took for ever.

Get a mighty vac to bleed your brake lines, takes away all the annoyance

I used stock braided lines from the X1 for my S1. The factory lines look much cleaner than most of the aftermarket...the ends are crimped instead of threaded adaptors.

BTW, I vacuum, bleed mine...they usually only require one or two pumps with the conventional bleeding method after that to get a nice firm lever.
