Where to get Braided Brake lines

I noticed some "weeping" on the stock front brake line on my '02 r1150r. I understand this is a common problem and would like to replace it with stainless. Where's the best place to get the new line? I checked "BeemerBoneyard" but didn't see anything. I assume I'll also need the ...

Re: Question about System Case compatibility...

Thanks' very much for the info. My bike does indeed have the "swoopy" side rails installed so I should be good to go. I'm going to pull the trigger on the cases as I hope to do some road trips with my new (to me) ride. I'll have to do an intro post as soon as I get some pics. I love this b...

Question about System Case compatibility...

I'm looking for cases for my newly acquired '02 R1150R. There is a set of cases for an '04 R1150GS online, anyone know if they would fit?
Thanks'
