talk to pirtek (http://www.pirtek.co.uk/)

If you want custom made parts, though they generally make high pressure lines for hydraulics etc, so I'm sure anything they make is overkill.

Are you doing it 4 looks or performance? Not sure if they do braided but a guy on here's selling some racing hoses.

[barwel1992]

thanks both i have fond them in the us so will also check there shiping charges :) if not i will see what pirtec say also may aproach goodridge as well see if they can make somthing up for me

and main reson is looks and also to stop some one comming along and slashing the main rad hose (hapend to a mate of mine not a prety puddle around his bike)

[Dave20046]

Depending on the price, if it's a major worry for you I'd be tempted to pick up a spare standard set of hoses for a few pence and have them at the ready

[barwel1992]

well i have a few pennys to spend so think i will stick with the idea of the braided version :) and the oil rad ones are just for looks

[Dave20046]

If you still have some pennys left over I'll have some rearsets please :)

[barwel1992]

haha well im also thinking about geting some but on the fence atm :) going with full braided hoses (race lines) and also a nice belly and a fair few other bits but not sure if rear sets are worth it

[Alpinestarhero]

i could get in on that...

[barwel1992]

Did you spot this thread? => http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=140588

[barwel1992]

yeh i did but £75 is a bit steep :/ considering i can get front and back braided brake lines for £60

and i dont "need" a new one just want braided lines lol

[CodeJACK]

What did you end up doing in the end barwel1992?

Did you find any reasonably priced oil lines?

[barwel1992]

nope did nothing, and because i have a inline temp coolant sensor it would be a night mare to try and get braided lines to fit

and the oil lines were to expensive

If all you want is the look get some overbraiding, costs only a few £'s, Halfords used to do it in the Chav car section.

Cheers Mark.

Yup, once again, only after some nice clean looks.

Have decided that it aint worth selling my K3 pointy so its now my project bike. Will do it up over time and if i even get a garage, will strip, rebuild and respray to my liking.

Any chance these might fit?

Maybe I could also fit a Ducati oil cooler if I came accros a cheap one?
