Default Re: Better brakes

I bought some braided hoses for my curvy sv but never fitted them, will they fit on my pointy? They are Hel. Are these really much longer than necessary?

Sorry.
Reminds me of a letter in one of the bike mags a few years back. Chap was sent aftermarket brake lines, thought they were too long. Sent them back asking them to take 5cm (or whatever) off them. They did exactly as he asked, he fitted them and admired the much tidier looking lines. First ride out on them, he pops a wheelie, as the fork uncompressed, it ripped the lines out of the calipers, coating his (still airborne) front wheel in brake fluid. Needless to say, he didn't land the wheelie very well.
