Braided Lines? Look no further.
So the braided lines came for my from the ground up Build today and wanted to share my experiance with the company CPRacetec.
I found these lines on eBay and after a couple of searches, though they seemed decent, and ordered them at £60 for front and rear lines, in the colour of my choosing (Transparent blue) the kit I ordered was for the gen1 SV 650 but about 10 mins after pressing the buy it now button, I though "**** I've got a GSXR from on there". A quick google later I found the company website and phone number. Upon calling I spoke to the owner, Richard and explained, SV650, Gsxr thou Blah blah.... He said no problem and has the database of all the bikes and corresponding length of the brake lines fitted as he makes them to oreder, I left it to him. Bearing in mind this was around midday yesterday, fast forward to today around the same time, doorbell rings and it's the postie carrying a parcel. Open it up and inside are my brand new lines, complete with 4 single and 1 double banjo bolt, all with the correct pitch threads (coarse front, fine rear) all in stainless steel, and all the copper washers needed for the job. Made, sent, and delivered in around 24 hours. I'm in no way affiliated with this company, but thought that the amazing service and value was worth sharing. www.cpracetec.co.uk/ Chris. |

Thank you for passing that on. Good service should be applauded. Will place in the memory bank for when I need to change my brake lines.

Thanks for that mate I need to change my lines in the New Year, always like to go by positive recommendations rather than just a company name

I saw that on your build thread, and I was curious about that. I was waiting to hear more information about your experience before getting a set. Because I am having the same issue with a 650 rear and a GSXR front.

I need a rear hose so will give them a go. I normally use HEL as they are fantastic but your guys are a lot cheaper (I paid more than that just for fronts). Thanks for the recommendation. |

Re: Braided Lines? Look no further.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to order myself some.
For a 2000 curvy, what should i choose between 3 front hoses and 2? What are the pros and cons? |

The 2 line is usually a little cheaper, whereas the 3 line means you just route it as stock no need to add it any extra hose clips or anything. Apart from that it's just personal preference. |
