I think the Venhill ones are recommended by those who know best!

Been looking to get some for my rear brake and have seen a lot of good feedback for "Wezmoto" lines saying they are high quality and with all stainless fixtures & fittings etc. On ebay and a lot cheaper than the other brands, I'm happy to give them a go.

Braided front brake lines
« Reply #12 on: 30 June 2012, 10:30:12 am »
To be honest, any of the big names like HEL, Goodridge, Vehill etc. are great! I have tried all of them on different bikes over the years and they have all given superior braking performance and feel compared with standard lines. I have a race set up and rear line from HEL on my Fazer now and the difference is night and day compared again with the standard lines. All the brands that I have mentioned retail online for around £80 for a full set up.

Good luck :)
