Braided Hose Brake Line?
Re: Braided Hose Brake Line?
before you order the braided hoses give sprint motorcycles in wakefield a ring on 01924 365665...i'm 99% sure he took his old lines and they made braided lines while he waited,you could get the clutch line done at the same time too

Re: Braided Hose Brake Line?
Hi all,
I know this thread may be long dead, but... is there any modification I'd need to do to fit Race line (two lines) on my otherwise stock firestorm? I.e. can I simply fit the two-line system straight onto my bike in its stock form?
Cheers!

Yes no mods. With the kit you should get the banjo's required to fit them & the one at the M/C is longer to take two lines...macca__macca wrote:Hi all,

Re: Braided Hose Brake Line?
I work for the HEL dealership in NZ, and I can honestly say I think the fittings are far better quality than just about anything else out there.
We make hoses to order/to pattern, and some of the 'other' aftermarket lines we see are positively horrible...

Re: Braided Hose Brake Line?
Yep, got my HEL lines delivered this week. They look and feel extremely high quality and I'm not dissapointed! I can't wait to get them on my bike... transparent blue and blue banjos should match my lapis blue bike beautifully.

+1 with Venhill.
Love the screw on fittings, easy to install and get a good fit.

Re: Braided Hose Brake Line?
I just bought some HEL. Haven't fitted them yet but the quality seems fantastic! Also they make the banjos in colours matching the lines (transparent blue for me) :-)

Re: Braided Hose Brake Line?
Try to keep any brake fluid away from the coloured banjos...(insert Grain coment here...) The finish isn't up to much. I had black ones now they are on my third different storm thers not much left of the black...Lines are great BTW just the finish on the banjos.macca__macca wrote:I just bought some HEL.
