I need to know the exact length of an M1100's rear brake line. I'd prefer not to remove the stock one but can do so in the worst case.

Anyone have any ideas?

Posted on a whim. I ended up pulling it and measuring. Got 28.5". You can't measure with a tape when the line is on the bike, at least not easily.

I meant the actual "tape" kind, like tailors use...

Use anything flexable and then measure whatever you used with a tapemeasure.  waytogo

i was gonna say twist tie a string to it, cut string to exact length, measure string. Then you don't have to re bleed the brakes and waste brake fluid Tongue So yeah... Like DucNaked said Smiley
