Two or Three brake lines - chr999chr - 19-11-13
Was looking to replace my front brake lines. Whats the difference in the 2 or 3 line standard or race. Is there any benefit fitting one or the other

I've gone for two, no splitter from the master cylinder.

If you decide to go for a 2-line set, I suggest you look at Venhill because their fittings are adjustable. You might find that this helps with getting the lines to curve correctly down to the calipers.
I had a HEL 2-line set for a while but wasn't happy with the routing and reverted to a 3-line set until I fitted R1 forks. Because I needed custom length lines for the R1 front end, I had Venhill make them up for me and the adjustable fittings work nicely.

I had mine measured as I have Renthal 773 bars so were custom made to fit from Hel

Ive got a 2 line goodridge setup. no difference bar the splitter is gone AFAIK.

3 line from hel...which also have adjustable fittings.

I've had both set-ups in the past, no discernible performance difference, had no problems with routing. Just personal preference really.

I have the 3 line Venhill setup on mine and am very happy with them.
I have had Earls and HEL in the past (2 and 3 line set ups), and the Venhills seem nicer (and easier to line up).
2 line front is a requirement for proddy racing (well it used to be), its also cheaper than the 3 line.
Just my 2p worth.

Two lines, it's easier to bleed mainly!

Just fitted Goodridge 2-line front & (obviously) single rear. My bike is an 03 600 & the original rubber hoses were well past their "best before" date! Have also replaced the brake caliper seals, cleaned & checked everything, applied red rubber grease to outer edges of pistons & also overhauled master cylinder with "Yamaha" kits. Nice new fluid & bled easily. Oh yes, copper grease applied sparingly to back of brake pads and pad pins. Job done-sorted!
