Title: Hel brake lines
Post by: Cellarman on 16 September 2015, 07:39:18 pm

Evening Foccers
Thinking of getting some HEL braided brake lines for my blue 06 plate gen1, I was wondering if anyone has fitted them in any colour other than blue or black, photo's would be good  :)
Cheers Tim

Quiet like the look of carbon ones as I have carbon elsewhere (tank pad, yoke protector) anyone tried red?
Where did you get your seat? that's another job for winter

I got my lines in Ireland when I went over for the NW200, got a really good deal, 20% knocked off as I bought from the van and they made them there and then and then the card machine wouldn't work which left him with a problem, I only had so much cash!!!  :lol

Seat is from Grizzley - https://www.facebook.com/Grizzleyscustomseats?fref=ts (https://www.facebook.com/Grizzleyscustomseats?fref=ts)

really comfy! Gel inserts really help for the long hauls!

I have fitted braided lines to most of my bikes over the years. The best I have found, mostly for easy of fitting due to the adjustable end fittings, is Venhill

+1 for  Venhill. Falcon 269 put me on to them and they are easy to fit due to 'swiveling banjos' (yee ha Cletus!). Means you don't get any twist in the lines.
