Brake Lines

Has anyone used these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... SS:GB:1123

Are they any good? Are there better alternatives?

Not had them on the CRM but on a RGV and and RS250, no problems. Fit was good - I believe the RGV ones were revised so I might have had those. Worth making sure they have stainless fittings though as the galvonised stuff soon furrs up with a few chips/scratches and the anodised stuff just fades and does the same.

HEL are about the best I think but also more expensive. I got mine from Earls Performance Products http://www.earls.co.uk who are a bit cheaper (plus I got a discount for sending mine so they could copy them as they had not done a CRM250 before!). Have just installed them and they are good but I haven't used them yet as my back end is still in bits awaiting parts.

I have HEL lines on my CRM. They are sooo much better than stock and much lighter too. I'm not sure that there is much difference between makes until you start getting different metals in the banjo joints. Goodridge have a good reputation but they are almost twice the price of HEL.

not to expensive to buy the bits and make them yourself if your into that sort of thing

I have a friend using hel lines on his cbr 400 he said they fitted well with no probs and give good feel,

What I brought is

The only problem is it doesnt have a angled banjo on the bottom so I had to route it round the outside of the fork leg because it touched the bleed nipple

I also got a 56cm for the rear but havent had the need to fit it yet

I have put an HEL on my Mk3 (front) and it is much better. The winter project for the mk3 has a rear on the list. I may even push the boat out and put them on my other bikes. I got mine direct from HEL rather than ebay. That way you can spoecify a nice shade of pink!
