Whats it matter?...

Carefully take off all of your lines (dont bend mess em up) and measure em, take note of the diamater, and the size of the ends, go to the car parts store, and get everything. Go back home and copy the old ones, reinstall and wala, good time to put new wheel cycl. if you havent already..oh soft hoses and MC also!

Wherever you get the wrap from, DONT get it from Classic Tube. Poor service & when they shipped the wrong lines, made it seem like it was _my_ fault they didnt fit...

Most auto parts stores around MN sell armored or unarmored lines in different lengths. Not sure on the pre-bent stuff.

Id get the parts store stuff, probably alot cheaper,and the prebent stuff you will still have to 'tweak' and its generally more $, does the 'armor' really help that much?
