Has anyone eliminated the crossover brake line across the front fender on a Speedmaster & used a brake banjo up on the the lower triple tree instead? Love the bike but hate that stupid tube. Just ruins the look for me.

That would work just fine, I know at least one person ran 2 lines right from the master.

I don't know why it wouldn't work.
