In a (possibly 25%) discount off HEL braided brake hoses and their other parts?
Very good quality hoses, usually about £90 for the set front and rear, stainless lines with importantly, stainless banjos (lot of other places use coating).
I'm a member of another forum which gets a discount off them, will be ringing up tomorrow to order a set of hoses, and thought I'd see if I could negotiate a discount on behalf of this forum too? THere's certainly enough of us to make it worth their while if everyone who wanted hoses went to them!
EDIT: [size=78%]Right guys, rang up HEL and they said that they'd be more than happy to offer a 25% discount for their hoses and all other parts for us, so if anyone wants brake hoses, or any other braking related parts that they do, then give them a ring direct on +44 (0)1392 811 601, let them know that you're a member of the Fazer Owners Club forum, and then order your bits, and you'll get the discount![/size]

Bugger just ordered wezmoto ones , did want Hel but pocket didnt . Thanks anyway and hope u get plenty of orders for decent discount
-
YES cos I've been eyeing up eBay for the last month for a full set.
-
Ye, I'm interested. I've been thinking about ordering a 2 line set for the front of my fzs600 2002 for a while. Already got a hel line on the back and it's great, really nice quality.

I could be tempted too, yes :)

I'd be interested but I've never bled brakes before :\

Don't worry its really easy to do :) Just need to be patient
I've done this on both my Fazers without trouble and several cars - the easiest was by far my friends Mitsubishi FTO, bled each corner (from an empty system) and bam solid brakes, no need to go back and try to get air bubbles out :D

Yes, I'm interested in a full set for an '00 600

That's great news JoeRock 8)
HEL product codes
FZS600 98 - 03 3 line front code = HBF9118
" " 2 line front code = HBF9119
FZS1000 01 - 05 3 line front code = HBF9114
" " 2 line front code = HBF9115
Haven't found out what the code is for the rear lines yet
-
A huge big up to you! Well done
Think i might have to treat myself... Wonder what else we could try similar tactics with :D
-
It's the setup on the front brake,
2 lines is 2 brake lines direct to caliper from the reservoir
3 lines is a single line out of the reservoir that gets split into 2 before the calipers, this is the original setup
I've got a 2line system, as far as i know it doesn't make a difference
-
can the 2 line system be fitted to the OEM reservoir then, or do you need to modify it somehow?

I believe 2 line is supposed by some to be more effective, but I've had both set-ups in the past, and can't say I noticed any difference. Maybe it's more noticeable at extremes, ie racing? However, the 2-line set-up is usually a bit cheaper, as less fittings required.
No modification needed, you're just bypassing the 3-way junction. The supplier will include the correct banjo bolt (longer, 2-hole) and washers when you order the kit.
-

I don't know about this kit for certain but mine was a straight swap.
Yeah you're probably right Nick, explains why I saw it called a race setup while I was looking. Good point about the fittings though, less points in the line to leak/fail
-
2 line kit could be easier to bleed too ;)
Great work Joe, I'll be putting in an order in the next few days =) a 2 line kit for the front should be £45 instead of £60 now 8) nice!

Rear lines don't have a code, but the first option on all front lines is 'Add Rear Line', which gives the options Yes Please (+£30.00), No Thanks or Rear Line Only (reduces price to £29.99)
-
Well done Joe. I already have a 2 line Hel set up on the front. You just need to fit the correct banjo bolt, which Hel are Lilley to supply you with.
-
Thank you, just ordered a 3 line front kit in transparent blue.
-
Just ordered a 2 line kit today and discount still applies :D
Thanks Joe Rock,
Chris
-
Ordered a 2 line kit today (with discount), so thought I'd bump this thread for those bringing their bikes out of hibernation.
-
Wonder if Joe or one of the mods could change the title of this thread to something like "HEL braided brake line discount" so that people actually know what it is about??
Chris
-
Possibly sticky it as well...
-
Think I'd qualify on a non fazer?
-
No

You sure would mate, just say you're a member of the forum but you've got multiple bikes and they're more than happy to oblige!
-
Fantastic!!! I've just ordered a 2 lines front plus rear line for £67.49 with free delivery.
I phoned Hel but they asked me to do it online, when I asked about the foccer discount he gave me a code to enter online.
I wouldn't like to abuse them by posting the code in an open forum but if any members want it please pm me.
-
I have these and can recommend them (2 lines front )
-
Nice one joe thanks
-
I forgot to add my thanks. I put a 3 line kit on my fazer last year. A cracking deal. Bleeding the brakes took way longer than expected but as a newb gave me great satisfaction to get rock hard brakes.
Thanks Joe.
-
Yes a big thanks to Joe. Mine arrived Tuesday will be fitting tomorrow. Any tips for the priming and bleeding would be gratefully received. Cheers

Anyone ordered non standard length/set up and got the discount?
-
Got my set of front & rear lines fitted, also bought a set of their s/s bleed nipples- absolutely brilliant & dead easy using my ancient Mityvac pump. I thought the price would be the same as at RaceLines but turned out a good few quid cheaper!
BTW when I phoned up they did say that offer wasn't available on the internet site, only by phone.

I have to admit total confusion as to why anyone would go for the two line kit instead of the 3. The 3 line seems easier and more effective. Is there ANY reason to go 2 line ?
Just askin, not arguin.

If you mean three front lines, then I have always chosen two simply for cost.
Why would three be anymore effective than two

It's cheaper, tends to be easier to bleed (air can get stuck in the crossover pipe) and for racing purposes 3 line kits are actually banned (although not sure why that actually is!)

All of the above + there are 6 joints to make on the the 3 line setup and only 4 on the 2 line.

Thanks, Have clipons and want one hose to go over the mudguard to link the calipers, need to get in the shed and find a length of flex to get a accurate measurement

Nik really wants your custom, give him your cash and if they're not what you want be a cnut and demand what you've asked for, i.e. hoses for your bike, fit for purpose!
