Braided lines

[Les666]

Thinking about fitting braided lines, any advice on good ones, where to get them and cost?

[DaveS]

I used the Goodridge one's and got them from Wez.
I looked at HEL as well but felt that the Goodridge one's would be more suited to my bike.
The Goodridge ones come as a kit for the AT, front and rear.
You will also need the stainless hose clips as well though which are extra.
You can get hold of Wez via his eBay shop. If you don't buy via eBay he will ship free of charge to you. He may not have the AT one's listed but just contact him and he can get them quickly. I got mine within 48 hours.

Good point!!! Did you get them from Wez?

[DaveS]

Yes I did. They cost about £9.99 for 3 with a double hose clip thing which we can't use. Quite expensive but on the basis of doing it right and it looking nice I decided to get them.

have ordered my braided lines and clips, should be here by the weekend. I have read that a vacuum pump tool would make the job a lot easier, they are on ebay for £20, are they worth the money? and how much DOT 4 fluid will I need

[DaveS]

I bought a litre but used about half that.
Would recommend 2 x .5 litres I think.

As to the one man bleed kit then yes they are very worthwhile but I think you can get them cheaper than that.

you think you guys have got problems I spent the day trying to sort out why the hydraulics didn't hold a tonne of Uranium up in the air, kinda puts things in perspective and explains why I'm on my 5th pint of Old Peculiar!

looked at the link and there was only a description for goodridge which has 2 lines one with a Y in it...the HEL lines have 3 and are all different..
I contacted the company who made them and they say they just go by a set of plans...has anyone fitted 'HEL' cheers..
