Default HEL braided Brake Lines

Hey guys,

Recently had trouble with my front brake locking on and have decided to give it a good service. Got a bleed kit on the way since the brake has lots of air in and seems a good move to replace the fluid anyway. (after accidentally popping a piston out and ****ing fluid on the floor, luckily none on the disc or pads )

The fittings and hoses look like they are probably original and it is 01 I fancied myself some braided hoses, possibly individual hoses per brake as well.

I spotted this http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Suzuki/S...-_Race_Set-Up/

Wondered if anyone had any wisdom on the matter? E.g. good hosing? good brand? will i need any extras?

It'll be the first time I have had braided hosing, was interested in getting something with at least a name behind it.

They do seem to have problems with their quality control, they do indeed sometimes send out the wrong bits, but they send out the replacement very quickly.
I got my Hel black coated lines after another member had curvy lines sent instead of pointy ones last year. They're great.
Carnivore had an issue with something do to with washers and wrong fitments with his Raptor, but they sent out the relevant part the next day.
I have had Goodridge hoses on the yellow SV for eight years now.. good too.
