Brake hose upgrade

[Chrisl]

Either either ..
2 line Hel front hoses on my bike, no noticeable difference.

Sorry to hijack post.. how did you find mounting the brake lines? I have a lower rise bar and my front brake lines seem to be intruding in the personal space of the top yoke. Only problem is if anything I would like to move the line even further down for better lever position. I'm at odds, whether I just put a piece of rubber under there to prevent vibration wear or remove and reinstall the line somehow.

What make of hoses are you trying to fit
Are the ends closer to the calipers nearer the them or to the master cylinder and finally check the routing you want to use ..these all make a difference to fitting. As does the angles of the fittings.
Good luck

Hey brother, I've fitted a Hel Racing line set up - they are routed in the stock position, with the inside line is hard against the notch on the lever (the outside line is perfect because of the spacing, so I was able to put it on a much flatter plane) - Because I've put a shorter rise bar on, it's hitting the top yoke in its current position.. so my options are; cut the notch off the lever, route it above the notch or lastly with least impact, try and put a 2mm rubber spacer and watch for wear so it doesn't rub through the outer casing.

Hey Joe, Sometimes there are no improvements due to wear on one or both inlet pumps or end applique

Sounds like something I'll have to look at in a month or two. My new 14 has Hel lines with two from the master, not my choice but I don't dislike them enough to change them.
I will be fitting different bars before it's on the road so will probably run across this issue.

Let me know how you get on. I'm still undecided and not riding it until after double d's are over.
