The lower end of the brake line was badly plug. I couldn't get the brake lines apart without damaging the joints. I took coax cable wire and stripped it down to the desired length. I spray some wd 40 occasionally as I pushed the wire throw the lines. It worked

The problem with "cleaning it out" is you will never have it all out, then your brakes will start to drag, when your brakes drag, the fluid heats up, when the fluid heats up, it expands, when it expands it puts more brake on...
New banjo bolt, Russell's stainless lines, bypass the "junction" block on the triple trees and right up to the master.

Curtis did you run a pressure switch on that for the tail light?

You can inline yes. Or swap to a different master (like an EX) and have the brake switch in the master so you don't have a "sponge" feel

The problem with old lines, is the rubber actually comes un laminated on the inside. Very dangerous.

You guys are RIGHT! I should know better I want to use the original master cylinder, repair kit just came in and splitter so now I have to locate the desired lengths of brake lines. Start shopping again! lol
