Hello,
I have braided lines question. I see HEL are having two sets for FZS 600, one with 3 front lines which is OEM replacement and the other is called race with only 2 front lines:

Is there any performance advantage to use the race over OEM one?
To make it more confusing I have found Goodridge which I think is third option or I may be wrong here? From the picture I see goodridge has the T splitter bolt near the master cylinder?

So i used the Race Layout from HEL, simply as it cleans up the front end of the bike and i could get rid of the crossbar.....
It took a few goes to get the routing of the cables correct, i shall post a pic up of what i did.....Fazersharp also has a pic up on here some where as he chipped in when i had no idea about Race versus OEM layout :lol
I cannot honestly say i notice the difference in the braking....but they look neater
Those Goodridge look the same as the HEL race layout?? cannot see the difference, Double Banjo master cylinder bolt as well??

here you can see the way i routed the cables, main issue was to keep the speedo cable nicely tracking up along the right hose....been fine since it passed the MOT, also check nothing will latch on the inside fairing on locks...

You could always go the GSXR route with one hose from mastercylinder to caliper then caliper to caliper across the top of the mudguard .
