Well I had the Neon blue with black banjo's on mine, just remember the crimped on bits will still be silver but a bit of good heat shrink will cure that if it bothers you.

They were a decent color match to the bike.

I've used HEL lines loads of times and they've always been great, they made me free ones for my 250 hornet because I sent them my originals to pattern

You can get coloured banjo's, (not talking about the musical instrument!).
Great customer service from HEL and nice product too!!

Yes. To replace an old set of std hoses.

If im honest, i rode my bike back to back with a stock kitted bike and coulendt tell the difference in any way. Under race conditions then im sure there is a benefit. On the road though, naff all. Save your money.

Better pads and a good clean working system are the way to go.

Do HEL lines help you stop quicker than a Lambo?
