heres one for the seasoned pros, i got into a little discusion tonight with big johnson about the front brakes wanting to chatter under light braking with braided brake lines, we both replaced ours a while back and he is tell me that having them in cable loom on the fender is causing this??? i have noticed it happen on my bike a few times but not often. he is riding with them hanging free and swears that having them in the loom is whats causing this chatter, any input from the pros?

I have a custom 3 pc SS Galfer front brake line. I removed and reused the rubber bushing and mounting brackets from the OEM hoses so that they are attached to the fender bracket rigidly as built!

No chatter problem here [

Edited: Couple of photos but not of the fender bracket [

alan, it looks like we have the same set up, main line drops from the master and hits a tee fitting then a line to each caliper and like i said in my previous post it only chatters every once in a while and certainly not enough to bother me but i didnt like the way those lines were hanging on johnsons rig and thats what started this whole debate

I can get a Picture saturday from Joshes bike but theres alot of threads on it if you search. I had it on my 2002 warrior and just let them hang and never had the issue again. I agree its only at slow speeds when Braking..
