Help needed!!!!

I am in the process of fitting my hel brake lines. I have attached the calliper banjos exactly the same orientation as the originals but the left hose is shorter, Shirley the left should be longer?

Please help

 

sure they are the right way round? or even the right lines.

 

Yeah as if I had them the other way around they would point I wards obstrusting the calliper bolts

 

Did you buy them direct from HEL or from someone 'who said' they would fit your Bike?

 

I got them direct from hel, suspecting maybe the maker had a bad day?

 

Best give em a ring on Monday mate.

BTW, who's Shirley?

Surely some mistake?

 

Maybe you have the banjo's the wrong way round. Ie the 1's you have at the caliber end may be the 1's that should be at the master cylinder end. (don't ask why I'd say that mate, it's not as though I would ever make that mistake )

Ok maybe I did. Ssshhhh don't tell anyone

 

You can twist the banjos a bit on the hel lines, they are built to do so for small adjustments. Hold the collar with pliers, put a screwdriver in the hole, and twist it for the right angle.

See here.

Hel UK do NOT have the wrong data but OTHER suppliers do (or rather they can't read or have never fitted the kits they make up) I am sick of seeing these kits this way round and I know where they come from mostly! However they seem to think I'm thick..

However un known to them I am a Hel UK dealer! I've talked to Hel about these kits many times as I am often asked to fit them or replace them Hel UK are under no obligation to change kits made by other dealers and its up to them to put it right. The data they have should also be correct if from Hel's database. Some sellers even claim they have been making them for longer than Hel UK have had them as a dealer....strange one that but hay Ho!

So IF direct from Hel UK then they are incorrect, if from someone else then....????

The lines are simple to fit and should kick back and outwards as you would expect!

 

I

Arthur should that not read as below?

I mean as Hel UK supply back and outwards and they have been supplied as inwards they will replace them, others seem to think inwards is correct. We all know inwards is not correct or it's hard to remove the caliper mounting bolt.

 

I got mine from race lines uk, it looks to me as if the calliper end banjos are on the wrong sides as iv copied the fitting from guys on here and the originals il give them an email on Monday and see if they will remake them

 

You can also speak to Hel direct mate, I have many times on this subject!! It's a topic that drives me crazy! lol

p.s Hel UK are 110% on the routing of the lines..

 

I've always bought direct from Hel, and they have always fitted perfectly. Perhaps I'm being overly cynical, but I suspect your supplier have sent you any old sportsbike kit... a sportsbike is a sportsbike is a sportsbike, right?!?!

On the box the lines came in should be a Hel product code. If you go on their website here you can find the Hel product code for the correct lines for your bike... I think the 2 should match (I could be wrong though... got to be worth a shot)

 

Would hel uk sort out their distributer (race lines uk)'s mistake?

I only went with them as they offer military discount

 

This is how mine sit ? If any help

 

Yeah I fitted mine exactly this way and it meant having the shorter line on the left. I think there's been a cock up with the manufacture.

 

Mine was longer on the left shorter right caliper I think

 

Yeah that's how it should be, as my left side is very tight. Iv emailed race lines and I'm waiting to see what they say

 

Are these ABS Bikes or standard one's ?
