    i went for 2 lines running direct from the master cylinder and they fitted using the existing connections, i dont think there is any real performance differance between the 2 set ups

    i find the two lines are easier to bleed than the original lines :)

    I like the 2 line setup, just prefer how it looks to be honest.

    Hey mate thanks for the info.

    I too am about to buy a set off here... can I confirm that it's a direct 'bolt on' and everything is provided in the HEL kits ?

    Thank you

    It really is personal perference on the layouts of either over mudguard or two full length lines for general road use. Although 95% of our kits would be the full length options as thats what most people tend to what.

    As I say for the general user you aren't going to notice much of a different in the two layout configurations, although the two full length lines effectively is a better layout as it provides a more equal brake pressure to each caliper.

    All of our kits (HEL) come supplied with everything you need to fit them. I.E. Stainless steel banjo bolts, copper washers etc. All you need is a bottle of brake fluid and away you go!

    See our thread here for the forum deal, which I'm sure you will agree is a fantastic deal http://1000rr.co.uk/bikebitsni/3983.htm

    Thanks
