HEL line length

[TOLAROS]

Guys I'm about to do a fork swap to my curvy.I have GSXR 1000 K7 brake master cylinder and fork tubes.I will install LSL clipons, 25mm or 1 inch rise.Will the HEL length be OK or I will need custom lines?
I mailed HEL but no answer...Can anyone tell me their length(Left and Right line)?
Thanks!

I had higher clipons fitted to my SV, think they were LSL or similar. About 25mm higher than standard. So about the same as yours.

Yes, is the answer, I had standard length brake lines and when I took it in for it's annual MOT the gargage said they were too tight, even though they looked fine to me.

So I had slightly longer custom lines made up. Better than finding you have no brakes because they've got to tight and sprung a leak somewhere.

But fit your forks first and then see if the lines are too tight. I'm not sure if the forks you are fitting are slightly shorter than stock SV forks

You have a curvy?
When you say standard length you mean standard for SV or standard for GSXR?

Yes mine is a curvy.

Standard for a SV

I've read a few complaints on the forum that HEL lines tend to be on the long side; mine certainly are and have rubbed the paint off the top of the front mudguard! Nothing wrong with the quality though.
