    Goodridge Hoses For Africa Twin

    This looks like a good deal to me and a way to pep up my @'s tired brakes. It's about time I changed my rubber hoses anyway as they've been on the bike for ove 50k miles.

    Good value for money?

    Hi 1gear1brake,

    Myself and my mate bought these from the same seller,and opted for the stainless fittings

    very happy with the results,and costs,
    at the time I did find,and was giving contact's for other suppliers,who suply the bits individually, from members of this forum,but could not get exact details of sizes for fittings ,hoses,connectors,so in the end went with the safe option,and bought the kit,

    well pleased

    Go for it. It will improve the brakes 100% pulling the front brake will be like driving in to a wall

    I bought them and they are completely wrong at the front. Totally nowhere near. I phoned Goodridge and they offered to cut them to size but that would mean me riding with no brakes so I will just ditch them and have ordered a set from wemoto.

    'Ride-On' in Glasgow have told me if I take my hoses in they will make a set up to match exactly (or longer if needed) while I wait, for a very similar price....................

    Two for and two against! Looks like I'll have the deciding vote.

    I think I'll go for it but after Whealie's comments, I'll email them for the exact dimensions before I order them. My brakes definitely need something to liven them up a bit. I'll take the oportunity to do the piston seals at the same time and my brakes will hopefully be better than new.
