Im gna get some braided hoses for my K7, found them on two different sites, however one is considerably cheaper than the other.
http://www.bikebitzuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=211_107_110&products_id=1118
and
http://www.brake-lines.co.uk/suzuki-sv650-sk5sk8-faired-model-2005-2008-standard-layout-hel-brake-lines.html

My question is, will the first one fit my K7, the site doesnt go recent enough with the SVmodels.

Cheers
Dan

not sure whether the different years will make any difference but the reason why one is cheaper than the other may be because the 1st one is a 2 line setup and the 2nd is a 3 line setup

Yeah, that is the default setting on that page, in the first drop down box you can change to 3 line set, and its only £70 as apposed to £109.
Also was confused why on the second site it said standard layout (3 front lines)......i thought there was 2 on the front one on the back?! or am i being bit thick?

I think what it means is the 3 line setup is 1 line to the splitter block then 2 lines to each caliper. The 2 line setup is 2 lines straight from the master cylinder

Ah that makes more sense now.... That is the better option as well isn't it? The first site was a simple 2 set from the master cylinder, which would still leave an original line leading into the master.
(im not that mechanically minded please bare with me with the silly Q's)

well iv got the 2 line setup which is 2 lines straight from the master cyl, the 3 line setup is basically what youve got on your bike now. There is a slight benefit for getting the 2 line system apart from cost but i cant remember :rolleyes::D
