No probs, do you want std or full length.
Not sure what the std is for yours. Mine is a 2 line but one goes from the lever to the right caliper and one line from the right caliper to the left.
I think having a line from the lever direct to each caliper would be better...

My bike's the same set up as yours Dave, so excuse my ignorance but if I go full length the 2 lines fit to the master cylinder in the the place of the one long fitting there now right? Does this effect the pressure in each line at all? Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Hi Dave
Ill go for stainless lines with black fittings. Hey everyone, I have a black bike, would stainless look OK or a bit too OTT?

'99 ZRX1100 - Green Line - Gold Fitting - Front Only - Full

The pressure won't be effected, but you may find with a double banjo and 2 lines from the brake it will foul a bit on the fork leg and you'll need to tilt the brake up a tad, causing the brake lever to sit a bit higher than you may like it.
That's what i found with the 2 line Goodridge set i've got on mine, the HEL set might have a slightly different bend on the neck of the fittings, so you may not have any problems.You might want to check before you order.
Otherwise just run it like Dave's, one from the brake, and one to join the calipers. HTH

What is so good about having these? Do they make a big difference to brake performance?

Hey all,

I dont mean to hijack this thread, but I couldnt resist having my 2 cents!

If you can give me the list of who wants what, I will organise a price for you - Im sure it will be better than the discount your getting with the other guys.

If you visit our site, youll notice we carry both Goodridge, and our own lines made here in Melbourne as an alternative. Both options are ADR approved (I know this because I have the paperwork to prove it).

Ive sold stuff to you guys in the past, and som of you know the site/us already.

Id be happy to help out if I can...

Chris

Hmm, im interested in clutch & front brake lines for the GPX750 (zx750F if you want to nitpick.)

Depending on how much they want for 'em of course

As we make our own hoses here, Ill have them made to angle in which ever direction is needed for the bike - if the banjos fowl the fork we can just angle them the other way - shouldnt be a problem.

Hey Chris,
I'm sure we're all interested, but I have just checked out your web site and I think you'd ahve to sharpen your pencil a bit.
Can you give us an idea of what price we'd be looking at to buy from you, matching the spec of the Hel lines we were looking at?

Cheers

PS if ya talk with Dave(MadKaw) I'm sure you'll find us allways willing to take on another sponsor

I'll get in on the group buy as well thanks!

For the 2004 Z750, I would like a 2 line kit, Full length, Red line colour, Black Fittings.

Cheers!

Ok, Ive done the numbers... Taking into account that our hoses (in the stainless fittings) are $110 each on our site, and that the equiv Goodridge examples are $135 per hose, Ive come up with the following:

I can do our hoses (in stainless fittings) for $88 per hose, so if you want a front setup only, its $176, and so on. See HERE

I can do the Goodridge (in stainless fittings) for $108 per hose. Same as above if you need two or three lines etc. See HERE

These prices include shipping and GST, and these hoses come with the ADR approval stamping/number.

The above is based on the fact that you guys are looking at ordering in excess of 20 hoses.

I know the prices may not be as good as the HEL ones youve been quoted, but its 20% off, and VERY close to cost.

For me to pay $176 for a set of stainless steel or pay $138.60 for green with gold fittings from AUS Streetfighter isnt a difficult decision to make based just on price alone - or am I missing something?

What does everyone else think?
