soz to hijack the thread quick. but has any one elsa got renthal bars and found a way of geting around the fact that the brake lines are realy streched. can you get longer brake lines ??

'N' model lines should still fit without a problem, other than that speak to Hel.

For some reason brake lines are ALWAYS the wrong length, no matter what... The only time i've ever had a set fit first time was the random GSXR single line I've got fitted to mine- it wouldn't have fitted a GSXR of course but with the mix-bag of parts i use it's perfect. But I've variously come across three sets of HEL ones that were too long, one of which had the wrong fittings, one set of BSR ones that were too short AND had the wrong fittings, and the less said about Scooby Drew's 636 set the better- we fitted my old too-long SV lines to it and funnily enough, they were perfect. But the set he had were about 9 inches too long

I think maybe they shuffle them before they label them, just to add to the excitement.

My CBR lines fitted just fine thanks

They probably accidentally sent you a set for a K1200R or something, and by pure coincidence they were the right size- much more likely than the correct set being the right length

you're probably right!
