I'm thinking of changing my stock front brake lines to braided ones. The HEL lines seem very popular here but they seem to sell them as a kit, front and rear. I'm not after replacing the rear as they're too strong as they are for my riding style already. Do you recommend any other brands from experience?

I recommend that whichever ones you choose, get the stainless fittings rather than zinc. |

Just visited the Goodridge site,
http://www.goodridge.co.uk/buy-motor...oses.php?mk=11 SV650SX-SK2 99-02 Front: SU0655S-3F @ ?65.99 Front Race: SU0655S-2F @ ?45.99 Rear: SU0655-1R @ ?23.99 What's the difference between front race and front, and why is it cheaper? |

I think the front is a 3 piece kit, using the original splitter block, where as the race is a 2 hose kit, with 2 hoses going straight from the lever, just bought the race kit myself, but still to fit it.

I see you're quite right guys, the race is a two piece whilst the other is a three. I'm guessing the race would not be so tidy but maybe more effective in braking?
The HEL lines are a little more expensive; HEL Performance Brake Line Kit 2piece front, one piece rear
? 49.36 Front / ? 24.68 Rear |
