    Hi
    I got myself a set of HEL front "over the fender" brake lines for my 2006 Blade. Any chance someone could post some pics or explain the routing and clipping at the front mudguard area? I'm a bit puzzled where things get secured once the old solid pipe splitter is removed.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the pics, looks like I need to buy an extra p-clip. Cheers.

    After looking at the pics again I noticed that the rubber on the hose coming down from the master cylinder is tywraped on to the "over fender" hose. Should this not be in the clamp near the headstock?

    Yes there is one on the lower yoke master cylinder side. I used a very small P clip to hold it so the rubber sleeve you see down by the mudguard is the sleeve that was fitted.

    HEL got back to me saying there are no bike specific instructions. Would have been good to see how they secured the brake lines when they designed the pipes for the bike. Also if additional clips / hardware are required they could have been supplied in the kit. I may try fitting by only securing each pipe at one point but this will remove all clips at the right hand side of the mudguard. May work if I get the angles right at the right hand caliper banjo bolt.
