Braided hoses
So... I fitted some Hel braided brake lines last year and a great improvement. Getting the bike sorted for this year and I have just fitted a set of Gillies vario bars with riser. They are great but you guessed it, the Hel brake lines are now too short, as is the clutch hose. So the question is where can I get good quality made to measure stainless hoses and does anybody need a new front brake hose? Yellow with red banjos - for a reasonable price.

Re: Braided hoses
What configuration lines are you running?
Some use a single line all the way to one caliper, then a short link over the mudguard to the other, alternatively a short top section splitting into two at the lower yoke; a third possibility is two long lines, one to each side, meeting at the MC banjo fitting.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
