I did some search about this subject and it seem that HEL is the place when it come to buy brake line,but at $212 CAD(two front disc) it's not cheap!

Is there any other place where i could find a better deal?

Dont know what it costs these days, but I used to make mine up with parts I got from Earls supply.

-4 was cheaper but -3 looked so much nicer.

The nice part was they were braided all the way, not braided with steel tubing crimped on the ends that looked like a half done job..

Ditto. Got all the bits from Dennis Kirk. Not as "fancy-Shmancy" as a custom line, but I like 'em.

I'm looking right now for fitting(goodridge),on our bike what's the diameter? 10mm or 12mm?

Where are you getting your price? A single line from craig is just over 50. A cant see a dual being 200. Especially since the US and canadian dollars are about the same now.

I got my quote from the Canadian distributor

But Goodridge don't seem to be cheaper,i'm looking for a complete kit on jp cycles and it cost
$157.93US and i don't even know what's the shipping cost yet!!

Take your old lines with you and visit your local hydraulics shop. They will make you a set for a fraction of the price.

Cheers

Hel lines comes with all new SS banjo bolts and brass crush gaskets.

bert96 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:37:47 PM »

Yeah,but not goodridge

eldar · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2007, 04:59:18 PM »

Well you can do 3 lines but you do not have too.the fittings from hel are little more than half the size of the old honda ones. SO 2 of them would only be slightly wider. The hel lines are also smaller in diameter so 2 of them side by side will not be that large. You just need a longer banjo from the master to put 2 lines side by side. Give them a call, you have nothing to lose with just asking for a quote.

Use new fitings though. Not the old stuff.

I like to keep the oem look as much as possible,so i'll go with three lines

And i've just ordered my lines(ebony look from goodridge) from Phat Performance,for a total of $103US

You should make it easy on yourself and get a couple speed bleeders.
