A. I have them, i find slight improvement in braking, old rubber hoses will be well passed there use date now too, so a good mod I think.B. Yes as above slight better breaking, you can also choose different colours and helps customise the bike a bit.C. You will get a Foc-U discount from HEL on braided lines, think its 25%
Hey Tefer who is the statue of in your Nick picture?
Hey again guys hope you are all well.Have been thinking recent about putting some braided brake lines on my fazer and just wanted to know:A. Does anyone else have them on their FZS600 and how are they? Big improvement, best brakes of all my bikes.B. Do you all think it's worth doing? DefinitelyC. What are the best braided brake lines (front and rear) for the bike as so many manufacturers make them? HEL...in your choice of colour and with discount.Hope you guys can help me out as always ☺
Last summer I had to replace my braided lines as eventually these get tired too! They'll last a lot longer than the rubber tho'.I went with a set of venhills, UK made a bargain on fleabay at £50
My front are HelNo one so far has mentioned the option of a two or 3 line front, I went for a two line front.
Hey guys thanks for all your help so far.I was actually going to ask about the 2 or 3 front line option. Wanted to know what's it all about? What is the differences between 2 and 3 front lines?

I had Goodridge on my old bike, as at the time they were the household name, but they had crappy plated banjo bolts, if buying again I would make sure they include stainless fittings not zinc plated. - How do you claim your FOC discount then?
I wonder if anyone has ever followed the notes in the Owners Manual and Service Manual and replaced the brake hoses every 4 years and brake seals including master cylinder every 2 years? After 16 1/2 years I've still got 3 out of 4 original brake hoses and never touched the master cylinder seals
