It very much depends on what you actually want I suppose, as the fittings come in either stainless, anodized or chromed.
you can either go threw the mail order companies (busters, M&P and alike) or direct to the big names ( Hel , Goodridge). HTH Cheers Mark.

Make sure you give them exact lengths and the exact type of fittings that the standard hoses have. HEL are complete numpties and always make the hoses far too long

ordered some off Ebay. 3 lines + SS fittings were £70 delivered for goodridge ones. Just search SV braided lines and it's the only one that comes up IIRC.

M and P sell HEL lines at £20 each, which is cheaper than direct off the HEL website I think.
It's a shame HEL have a bad reputation for sending the wrong lengths, but I think they always sort it pretty quickly. |

Yeh they do sort it pretty quick, but they shouldn't have to! How hard is it to copy a standard brake line

Like I said I have stainless HEL Hoses & fittings for a 2003-2008 sv650. Going back to m&p if you don't want them, I'd have to see if I could get m&p to pay for the postage to you though.
