Does anyone offer a complete kit or know what parts to order to swap out the standard front end cables and brake lines for a Roadster with ABS? I have a 2011 R3R with ABS and the Rivco risers, and I would like new stainless steel brake lines and controls that are slightly longer.

Seem to remember someone recommending Barnett .. same outfit that makes the clutch plates .. I think.
 
@Jeff Cameron
I'd like to do stainless brake lines.
I be curious if these are the 2 lines into a "Y" into 1 line that mounts at the reservoir or
2 lines all the way to a piggy back mount at the reservoir.
 
Normally when they say "kit" I would expect the same number of hoses as stock except that they are in stainless instead of rubber. A lot of the stainless line shops will custom make you a kit in any length of hose you want...just give them the measurements and they will cut the line to length and install the end fittings (I have done this for other non motorcycle applications) and it is often cheaper as you are just paying for the lines by the inch and the fittings charge ....they install the fittings for free when I got my done. As an extra benefit you have a wide color choice for the fittings!
 

are there any benefit in having two lines from the hydraulic reservoir vs single line splitting lower down into a Y ?
 
Pierre,
I have been told no, but fear leaking with the piggy back two line mount at the reservoir.
Hope all is wee with you and you be riding that tractor like crazy.
 
Spiegler made me lines up for my Touring, I just gave them the 3 measurements, to the splitter, then the 2 lines to the calipers.
 
I ordered the Spiegler kit and had to return it. It is a 2 line kit that eliminates the ABS. It may work great on an early R3, but its no good for the Roadster with ABS...
