Braided brake hoses

[Gav]

How come those braided hose kids don't put in a hose to go between the master cylinder and T piece.?
Only 2 hoses for the front ...T piece to calipers.

:eek :eek :eek :eek
they give you the choice either a 3 line ( 1 to t then 2 to calipers) or a 2 piece thats one to each caliper from the m/c

Ok cheers. I did a search on ebay and looked at the kits on there.  Will ava look at HEL :-)

[Doddsie]

Yup, i got the 1 to 2 (standard setup)

yep, me too!!

[Comrade]

Yea i got Good ridge standard , 1 line then the link over to over caliper, works great, was a bastard to bleed compared to others for some reason

Hel, double banjo and two lines for me--done away with the cross bar link over -------------looks messy

I think the original set up looks neater, one hose coming from the handlebars......... wanna fight??? 

[Gav]

Ahh of course doh what a ding bat I am.  The front kits with 2 lines go direct to the m/c then on a double banjo.  Takes me a while sorry, especially after a couple of beers

Which ones Gav? HEL give 25% off on the phone if you mention foc u and do a standard or race setup

Is that a fact? Finally the excuse I needed to buy some

Yeah, I'll be going for the 2 line kit when I strip and rebuild the front end over winter. I think the 2 line kit is neater, it's also cheaper and easier to bleed as there are less connections and places for air to get trapped

2-line "race" set up front-lighter, fewer connections, easy to bleed, looks good! just need to tie wrap the speedo sensor wire securely when removing splitter & bracket from lower fork yoke

What they said, except you can quite happily keep the bracket in place if you do so wish!

Which is what i did.
Mine was a bastard to bleed and i'm still not convinced its properly bleed, although i did some 70mph emergency stops pretty quickly.
Feels like there is more travel than before and the span setting is the same.
