Have you got the two line kit for the front? One may be longer than the other because of the routing.

You are routing them from the master cylinder (brake lever) and not the splitter aren't you?

See what I mean ?
The one going to the left caliper isn't to bad but the one going to the right seems about six inches to long to me.

I've tried routing it a few different ways but I'm still not happy with it.
Maybe a call to HEL on monday is needed.




Sorry about the big piccy dialup peeps.

My hoses for my curvy S model are also longer than I would have liked. I suspect it is their policy to make them a little generous in length, but I rather they didn't

Just measured all me hoses

OEM Lines

Front Right 35cm + 46cm =81cm
Front Left 35cm + 8cm (splitter) + 46cm = 89cm
Back 57cm

HEL Lines

Front Right 87cm (+6cm)
Front Left 89.5cm (plus 0.5cm so ok)
Rear 62 cm (+5cm)

I think I'll ring HEL on monday just to see what they say.
