Hey guys,
do a few burnouts here and there and contemplating getting a linelocker installed with a switch hidden in the cabin. Does anyone have any feedback regarding linelockers? I would pay someone who knows what they are doing to do it, as don't wanna muck around with brakes personally. Does roughly $630 sound fair for the line locker supplied and fitted, with the switch wired up? If anyone has one installed are they worth the money?
Thanks in advance.

$630 is the biggest rip off mate! I don't recommend running them on a daily but you should get away with under $200 for kit AND install!

Also, a lot of the bigger companies are not meant to install these on any road registered vehicles. If they do, it'll be no receipt and no warranty.

I had a B&M line locker in my VN a couple of years ago, got the line and fitings made up at a brake shop, they refused to fit it. It was worth the money.

If you need a line locker to do a skid you need to learn how to do it properly.

you seriously got a N12?






line lockers are fun at first but get boring after a few days. 630 is a rip off. most brake places will do it if you play your cards right.

I don't see the problem? I know a few people with electronic line lockers and abs, no problem's. The whole "tough guy" act is getting old mate.
