I was wondering if anyone has tried to put late model steel braided brake lines on a older sportsman.I have a 98 sportsman with a cracked front hose and thought maybe i could upgrade to the better hoses. someone let me know if it will work...thanks

 

As long as the length and fittings are the same, I can't see any reason why not.

 

I went to the local hydraulic shop and had them make a set for the rear of my scrambler when I extended the swing arm. $70 for three inch extended lines with the correct fittings at both ends. They also had a choice of red, blue, black, and clear/stainless colors. The used Earl's parts.

 

good up grade.Your brakes wont get spongy on hot day or with hard use

 

i found a complete set of braided brake lines on ebay off a 2006 sportsman for 30 bucks. they work great. just in case someone wants to upgrade too...
