I ordered a Russell braided steel brake line to replace the damaged line on my 04 KDX200. When I tried to install it I discovered that it was impossible for the line to make the 180 degree bend back towards the caliper from the master cylinder because the hard plastic covering was placed about 3 inches from the master cylinder end rather than the caliper end. This makes the line way to stiff to curve back and leaves about 6 inches of line exposed at the caliper.
Has anybody else run into this problem with a Russell line? I think it's defective and am planning to send it back but I don't want to cough up the postage to send the thing clear across the country if they are just going to send it back saying that's how they make them.
