Braided front brakelines on ABS naked SV
 

I've long wanted better front brake performance, and one of the obvious switches to make is to braided stainless steel lines. Unfortunately (from the point of view of retrofitting lines), my bike is equipped with ABS (which I otherwise love and would not be without), and the unusual fittings and routings meant that nobody stocked a system for this model. For a bit, I thought I had Galfer convinced to do a set, but this fell thru. I contacted both Goodridge and HEL without satisfaction. I even tried to surf Continental sites. But finally Spiegler built a set for me! Happy days!

Rather than repeat my rather long-winded post detailing the set and installation, I'm just going to pass along the link to the original, for anyone who's interested. I have no idea about post etc costs to the UK from the USA, but maybe with this experience in hand you guys can convince one of your domestic suppliers to do the job themselves - otherwise they can watch their customers go overseas, eh?

I hope this helps for somebody...

...and, just a month after Spiegler finally debuts with their S/S set (fronts only) for the SV-ABS, so does Galfer:
