Help! Urgent(ish) brake line crimping in Southampton? - SV650.org

Howdy all,

So my topyokes handlebar conversion kit arrived today. A friend and I have got the day off work to fit it, ready for a wee tour come the long weekend. BUT!!! One of the brake lines in the kit hasn't been crimped

Is there anyone in the Southampton area that would be able to do it for me today?? Pleeeeease!

A hydraulic specialist should be able to do the work for you.

Genius! I called all the usual bike places here and they all told me to get in touch with HEL. But Pirtek are going to sort it out for me... would have never found them without the suggestion! Thanks again guys & gals

To come, an amateur's guide to fitting the comfort kit on a curvy

EDIT: Top lads at Pirtek, Southampton. Nice one guys, even gave me some stickers

Pirtek are a very good company with a good work force. Had a lot of contact with them when i was working in the HGV trade. Usually a good price and a fast turn around service.
Glad you got it sorted quickly
