My Hawk 250 tried to kill me and almost succeeded.

Inbetween the forks?

And did yours come with rubber holders for both the upper and lower guides on the front brake? or just the lower one?

I don't think it's in between the forks, but I'd have to pull the headlight off to check. Got to thinking...why not pinch the bracket thingie that it routes through with a pair of pliers to keep the line locked in? Just the lower as far as the rubber holder. Can you see the line move when you turn the handlebars?

You can just follow the line with your hands and tell where it goes, or look up from underneath it.

That's what I did. It's crazy how much I had to alter them, they were incredibly loose. Ontop of re routing it like the pic seems to be working, haven't test rode yet, just jumping up n down on it while turning the wheel back n forth watching the cables flex. Seems to be good now.

Better front forks would definitely help, the stock ones sometimes compress some just under the weight of the bike LOL so bad.
