Brake guru's please give me some info. here

Here's an article that I've found pertaining to the situation I'm experiencing.
http://www.babcox.com/editorial/bf/bf50434.htm
It refers to "lock lines" that I am not able to find at the local stores. Most of the lock lines I've found on the net are lock line kit's that hold the brake pressure allowing you to take the foot off the pedal. mostly for 4X4 use.
I, however, am looking at plugs that would fit/screw at the outlets of the M/C and also at the individual brake components to isolate the problem areas. they're called lock lines as well but are kind of different.
for those who don't know what I'm referring to there's a picture of those lock lines in this article.

At this point, I want to know if there's anyone who has troubleshot the brake system taking the route described in the two articles. I've pretty much been to all the shops in the NJ area and everyone's given me a simple NO answer. That's a shame that the owners have to spend money on expensive brake parts because the shops just don't know how to troubleshoot the braking system properly.
The only shops that I can think of that are the shops who build the hotrods from ground up. Since they install all the components themselves I'm sure they would know what they're doing.
any comments will be appreciated.
