For those of you that have upgraded your front brake lines, how did you secure them? The stock points are designed to hold the stock single brake line, but it doesn't really work with dual lines. Any pics or ideas of how to route them better?
Brake line mounting?

Have a look at these pics:-

Ignore the mounting that the old line went through as it went over the top of the wheel. It's a red herring when you use 2 lines.
Hope that helps.

You gotta cable tie them all over! 
My bike would have loose wires all over the place without the wonder of cable ties!!! :rockon: You can get those nice alloy cable separators (google it), but they are pretty overpriced for what they are.

what's the advantage of separate brake lines over a "split-shared" line?

a more even pressure applied to each calliper for even brake application
i doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference anyways

i squeezed the round mount into an oval which just fit the 2 lines in, and cable ties.
