I forgot to mention I was doing the '05 gxp front caliper upgrade. Yeah so I called ZZP and emailed them. The email response said they don't have any that would fit but. The phone reply said they do and told me what to buy???
Well I just put in my order, we will see when I swap everything over.

So I ordered the front set off of ZZP web site,the extra long ones. Could have been a little longer, I could not reuse the stock bracket where the steel line and braided ones connect.

I had a local tubes and hoses shop make my brake lines custom.. cost about $200 but that was the easiest way to do it, no one makes parts for bonnies so custom is usually the only way to go. they are DOT approved and uses all the stock clips and brackets... might try to find a custom hose shop local to you or find a company the sells the fittings and hoses separate and "make" a custom line how you need it. I ordered a front and rear brake line and had them match the fittings and gave them the length i needed... the L and Right are the same but Mirrored.. so either mirror the L to R or have one connection that can be turned and tightened
