s/s braided brake hoses
« on: 01 April 2019, 05:05:00 pm »
anyone had any experience with wezmoto. found them on ebay, never heard of them but thinking must be better than my 20 year old rubber ones. seem bit cheaper than goodridge/hel.

Never heard of them but, as you say, they've got to be safer than twenty year-old rubber.
Alternatively, Venhill do twin line hoses for a similar price. (Easier to bleed as there's no need for the splitter under the headlight.)

Check to see if there's still a forum discount from Hel
 Used to be 25%.

I just bought a set for my fazer went for the race front set up and a rear, i've only fitted the fronts as of now but they look as good as any other branded  braided hoses.With decent fitting instructions and bleeding instructions too, i agree much much better than 20 year old rubber ones

I went with cobras like daviee suggested, got front and rear though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FZS600-Fazer-1998-2003-2-front-1-rear-Cobra-Braided-Brake-Hoses-/183650889280?nav=SEARCH

They came in some HEL packaging and I’m told they’re made to HEL standard under license in the UK. Top stuff but tbh any braided brake line will be a great improvement on standard lines and will last many years.

Recently fitted the Wesmoto rear and front race. Good quality and fitted well.

I've fitted Venhill braided hoses on my Fazer, very pleased with these. Plus cosmetically look great too. :)
(there were a few sellers on EBay stocking these).

Yes, if you go for the "RACE" configuration, you get 2 individual hoses that go from the Reservoir, straight down to the Caliper (each side).
Not a split from 1 hose to 2 (at the lower fork clamp), with the Junction in the centre, as per the standard config on the Fazer.

I've heard of a company wemoto (their website is great for OEM bike spares), but not "wesmoto"...

TBF the last set of Hel hoses only cost me £75 at the MCN show, front & back. If you hunt around for a discount code, you can probably get a similar price anytime.

Years ago I went for the Hel front race lines. Two line come from a double banjo bolt at the leaver so you can do away with the crossover bar across the forks. IMO it looks a lot neater without the bar.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
