Thank you PUC, Jedi master of the 1st gen, and all around motorcycle guru. The question is not about the mechanics of the job, it seems straight forward enough. The query is whether it should be done with part I have acquired. The 2nd gen clutch line starts off as a normal rubber line then changes into a hard line routed under the engine them back to a rubber to make the connection to the slave. The line I have is SS from top to bottom, the manufacturer (galfer) has said the all SS line will work. If any other of our RSV brethren have done the same, just wanted to know I would regret it later. It seems that with the hard line routed under the engine replacing it with the SS line might be problematic. Don't want to re-invent the wheel here.
