Yeh those CNC ones are a bit too much but the stock type rubber hose clips will work fine whatever you choose

BTW
Remember to check with your insurance company about the upgrade

As I said, never use the over-the-mudguard setup. You can't bleed it properly. It's not hard to secure the two long lines from the master cylinder. Most places will sell you a kit with them the right lengths already - just specify your model.

the standard set up is over the fender and bleeds fine, i dont know where you're getting your info from, but it seems unlikely that it would cause a serious issue

Well you could search on here for the many previous threads on braided hoses, or perhaps it's from my own experience

I fitted new lines when I did the bar conversion and the kit I was supplied with was race setup. One slightly longer than the other and a few cable ties to fix together and nothing flaps about. Braided lines are fairly stiff things.

te standard setup has the splitter as the "highest" point of the second line so air can travel up and be bled from the master.


a double banjo caliper has the highest point in the u bend which would be an **** to bleed.....


when i fitted my race lines i bought the hose mount bracket from the other leg and snipped and bent it a little and bolted to the missing splitter holster

Yeah iv been thinking of using just standard clips too, but i wasnt sure how they sit, the OEM bracket is quite long and sits the hose out from the forks a ways, but i was worried the standard clips would pull the hose in too much
