    Hi,
    several month ago , visited the UK and bought the venhill brake lines.
    very easy to install , you don't need to twist the cables because of their unique
    connectors.
    read about it on the web

    Hi All
    I ordered my brake lines on f/b through Terry Harr as the above link off nigelrb. Great service and price 75 quid all in. Mention the forum.
    Thanks all

    Is it easy to swap the lines over (non- ABS)? :oops:

    I did read a guide to bleeding brakes on here once (I think)...just seems a daunting task seeing as how the brakes are somewhat important :eek:

    Piece of P, hitch. I know you're just about to receive your HEL kit (or have received it. Ideally, as Terry advised, you need an extra 'P' clip to secure the second line beneath the fork yoke because the 'race fit' lines do not cross over the front fender. As far as bleeding, there are some easy to follow instructions on You Tube: This one shows 'reverse bleeding' but you will see others that follow the 'conventional' route.

    Sorry, hitch. It was Wayne Thomas who started this thread.:confused:

    Could be a wise move waiting. I cleaned up at the NEC with ABBA stand, AGV helmet and an RST Blade leather jacket. Very wise to have a pocketful of cash!! Cheers!!
