Blimey! Brake hoses

I've just been quoted £133 by Spares Direct for a set of OEM front hoses for my curvy. So I've ordered a complete kit of 3 hoses (2 front, 1 back) from M&P - their 'economy' line - which are made to order and despatched by Goodrich, for £34.97, including postage.:D

You must be the only person in the world who thought to get OEM replacement hoses.

Better braking and 100 quid saved. What a result!

You've got to assess all the options before shelling out!;)

Re: Blimey! Brake hoses

what options?

1. Crap rubber ones at OEM prices which wear out
2. Decent braided ones which last forever and will never cost the same as OEM

No contest in my book :-)

You might want to consider buying nice new Banjo Bolts to go with the hoses - not cheap but look a lot better than the OE ones :cool:

Next you'll be considering an OEM exhaust if you ever scratched your original :rolleyes:

Been there :oops:
