Title: Black hydraulic lines for less than $3. Post by: Artful on September 30, 2010, 06:52:47 AM So I was cleaning up some wiring last night and had out an old length of wire loom to cover a few wires. It was late and I had been drinking so I started tinkering with other stuff on the bike as usual. The wire loom looked like a perfect fit for the front brakes lines and the clutch line that has gotten discolored from previous lack of garage ownership...
Sho 'nuff it fit like a glove.

I'll snap a few more once the monsoon moves out of the area. I think the corrugated look of the loom adds to the industrial bare bones look of the Monster. Loom also comes in colors, but might look a little bit like a modded Honda Civic from '96. You can buy the loom here: http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-x-10-ft-protective-wire-wrap.html (http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-x-10-ft-protective-wire-wrap.html) or basically any hardware store.
