Thanks for the heads up RC!
I installed per the manufacturer. Vacuumed the line, so no air. At 4 o'clock position the line sticks out past the handle bars. at 8 o'clock position the line hits the tire. Unlike the OEM line, this is very ridged. Mr. Spears has been running his brake line like this this whole past season with 0 problems. I trust his knowledge and experience, so I will do it the way he describes.
