    I plan to get a Brembo RCS master cylinder soon, so i may as well fit braided lines at the same time.
    I can decide what colour to go for.
    I have a 2011 Repsol and my favoured choices are :
    1. Repsol Orange
    2. Clear sleeve to show the stainless
    3. Carbon black

    Input welcome.....

    As I have said before Carbon black on the Repsol or it looks tacky :)

    Brembo 19 RCS, F""K me you won the lottery, where did you get an idea like that Steve, obviously somebody with more money than sense ;)

    The carbon look are nice but maybe something completely different so they stand out!

    Steve

    Go for the HEL carbo look, they look like carbon fibre.

    I've just fitted a pair to my back & white Blade along with Brembo RCS master cylinder and clutch.

    Another forum member has also got them on his Repsol Blade.

    They look the dogs, also you won't get tired of them as they are fairly neutral

    I can send you some photos if that helps

    Cheers
    Rich

    Great choice Steve.

    Just make sure that you ask Jonny to make you up a set with the same bends as he did for me last week.

    He'll know what you are talking about!!!

    Personally, i think something that tries to look carbon, that isn't carbon, looks tacky. I'd choose orange...gods colour!

    Just ordered them - went for clear in the end!
    I think this looks very subtle.
    I did mention the bend!
