Bert,
Hmmm. I'm going to toss out a few arm-chair-QB suggestions. Take 'em with a grain of salt.

Tee the lines at (or near) the M/C. Then route the lines forward, hidden inside the L & R main frame tubes. It would be really convenient if the frame tubes were open in the back, hidden by the mounts. Are they?
You'll need to make holes for the lines to emerge from the frame tubes, up near the front wheels. Be smart about where you make them, of course (away from high stress areas, and allow slack for steering the lock-to-lock).
Maybe for the section between the frame rail and the wheel, run the nylon line inside a light stainless coil spring, to keep it from kinking and to protect it from abrasion? May not be necessary.
On Carl's kart, I really like how both M/C levers share a common clevis pin. Super simple way to still have brakes even if one of the lines pops off down the straightaway.

Whoa, that's enough heavy thinking for now... time for a nap.
