Rear Brake Line "Burn Marks"

Dont think so,,,it's black or dark brown,"i know the photo sucks" no discolor any other places.
have you ever seen the rear window on a convertible that has been sun baked? (soft window) they turn brown/black, become brittle and then cave in..
You could have maybe picked up something on the tire and thrown it over there but I do not think "heat" is the problem.
Is why I thought if you look under the clamps, you might see that the cover is different than that on either side of the bracket.

Let me try and get a better pic.My 5 year old lost my good camera when i took him to see that over payed mouse in Fla last year,,,lol.
No other marks,,see the line,it lines up with widest part of the tire when in place.

last one,,,see how it lines up with that 200 rear at the wide point?
have you used any solvents or cleaners on the rim? your "fuzzygraphs" are pretty hard to see but it looks like it might be just about where the sidewall of the tire would sling stuff
anyway, you may want to call the maker and see if there is a warranty on this.. this could be the beginning of the end for the sleeve. (I doubt it has any thing to do with the integrity of the part at this point)

The only thing im sure of is that its a burn mark,Could the wheel be slinging heat?I road my last tire hard.
So thats it? No more ideas?
Looks like this is no burn mark but discoloration. Like line was pulled back a couple of inches and that clamp with black rubber insert where that marked part previously was. Could it be the case?
No ... it's heat. Sure of it...
Please explain why do you think it`s heat? Is it melted? Brittle? Your pictures is not good.
Vic,,it's turning to carbon,,,i'm no expert,,but im a Chef for 30 years and know heat,,lol. The line is only 4 mo old,,and since last pics,,more carbon on rt side now,,,Riding hard on Sat,,,will try and get better pic's.
move your line a little, maybe re rout it differently just to check it another part of it will do the same burning.
could the line have a pinhole and be letting brake fluid out underneath the plastic covering under really hard braking? would brake fluid react with the plastic line cover? can't tell from the pics if the discoloration is only on the outside of the plastic
