Default Braided hoses + aftermarket pads + labour = £200+

Went to my local dealership earlier today.
kestrel honda to be specific.

ask about hoses and pads as the breaks are pants on the sv and i got quoted over £200 for the lot. is this decent or am i being ripped off ?

cheers

Lines £60 pads £40 quid, brake fluid £5, roughly, what is their labour charge per hour? labour you should look to find £40 - £50 per hour as it should only take 1hrish to do all that.

My lines were £70 all round.

And learn how to ride the SV, you don't use the brakes, engine braking is where it's at. Go for a GSXR front end or adaptor plates and calipers if you can't be bothered to engine break.

Breaks is how you spell it if you don't do your brakes right
