Default Goodridge braided brake lines

Hey all im looking at replacing my break lines to try and reduce the squidgy feeling iv got atm, make it look better, slight improvement maybe.

Just a question of where to buy them from. because the goodridge website have stupidly high prices and every where else i look they dont stock them for the sv

Can and one recommend me a place?

Thanks phil

Are you set on Goodridge and what do you call expensive?

Not necessarily, i have looked at HEL but they were more expensive and they wanted about £100 for front and rear which is a bit steep in my eyes

HEL for me. Decent prices and very good quality. IMO better than the goodridge.

Phil, i put goodridge on the front of mine and it cost me around £70 i think around july last year.
The shop i got them from is not the cheapest but i was desperate.
As the ones i bought have separate end fittings on, this is what costs the money, if you could get complete lines with fittings attached this would be cheaper i think.

Phil (as well lol)

Have a look on Wemoto
I think they do several versions for the SV and Im sure they are cheaper than that.If you are on a budget go for fronts only.

£20 / line with stainless bolts in any colour you want.

£80 if you want to go with the 3 line setup at the front or £60 if you want a two line setup.

Ok just had a look at the wemoto sight and they sell the HEL lines, Now about the banjos iv heard they can play up after a while if they are made out of steel or something? Are the standard HEL ones ok?
