First gen front brake lines
 
Looking for either the standard section of brake line running between the front right caliper and the divider thing under the headlight or a complete set of braided lines that would box off the issue of that line leaking. For first gen naked (lines for the S may well fit below the divider but not sure) Thanks in advance.

Naked is only different above the splitter, same front end as the S but higher bars. All OEM stuff will be quite old now, I would just get a pair of braided with a double banjo at the top.

Many thanks for the reply and the info. I was going to go down the braided lines route however turns out the existing lines are fine - was actually the fork leaking down the back onto the part of the line where it is attached to the fork leg.
I'd foolishly not thought of that as the fork seals were done by a garage just last year and I've hardly ridden since.
Going to try one the Seal Mate tool before paying out for it again- checking the brake caliper seals led to seriously stuck pistons so I'm spending the MoT budget on a brake rebuild.
