    Fitting Goodridge hoses

    Well they are on and the fronts are filled and bled, these were from wezmoto on eBay.

    Have to say I was not impressed with the alternative to the rigid Honda section that goes across the forks, I had to bend the original offside hose mounting bracket in a vice so the new Goodridge T piece could fit (The bottom fork yoke is in the way otherwise) and the nearside hose had no provision from Goodridge at all, the original Honda equipment has a little box with the pipes at right-angles but of course you lose this with braided hoses.

    Improvisation was necessary and they certainly aren't a straight out of the box install which is a shame. Putting a bracket to use on the nearside hose as well would have saved a lot of time and mucking around and cost them nothing.

    yer.. they arnt the best fit but they do the job and are pretty cheap.

    P-clips help a lot in keeping them tidy and in place.

    Yup - in fairness I have no complaints about the price especially as they don't use a double banjo bolt as apparently that's bad!

    Must admit I sent mine back and bought the Mervin hoses from Wemoto.
