The rear brake line topic reminded me to ask you friendly bunch something I've been thinking of since I got the bike.

I'm looking at replacing the rubber for stainless and have been looking at getting them from Busters along with a few other bits and pieces.
I'm looking at the "Goodridge Stainless Steel Lines" but I've no idea what to get.
From a quick look at my bike I think getting 2 full length lines for the front would be the easiest solution, but as I've never done this before I want to ensure I'll be doing it right.
They've got "full length" versions and "std to bike" versions, any idea of the difference?

Or am I doing something completely silly and will someone from here point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Full length is as it sounds, straight from the master cylinder to the calipers. The other incorporates the junction box behind the right fork leg.

Mine has the latter on and it's OK, although in hindsight I'd go for the two individual lines

Go for the two individual lines and lose the junction box.
I'd lose the rear metal piping too.
That's what I'm doing (scheduled for summer 2007).

Adam,
If busters are the people from south wales be very careful about giving them credit card details.
Don't know if its true but on another site I frequent there were a number of horror stories of hugh visa bills being run up.
May of course just be an urban myth or false info being put out by their competitors.
Bern.

Thanks for the info guys. I've ordered 2x full front stainless lines and 1 rear.
I got a double banjo bolt for the front but annoyingly had to call them to order 4 singles.

I've ordered from them before with no problems, though did pay online. giving card details over the phone is just dodgy and asking for trouble!

I got a brake bleed kit and some oil, plus some of that highly rated ACF50 stuff to test it out.

And now for a HID kit...

Well after a massive delay with Goodridge "waiting for parts" the kit finally turned up which kinda confused me!
I didn't have two full length hoses and a rear, but instead a kit to replace the current hoses, utilising the junction box.
Busters called Goodridge and apparently they don't do a double hose kit for the front.

Ah well, hopefully I'll be able to get it fitted at the weekend.

Thats odd, I've got a kit from Goodridge with just the two single lines for the front and a single rear, it was sold as a Boxercup race kit, but confusingly labelled 1150gs kit on the pack. Being the lazy sod that I am, I aint got around to fitting it yet

What about a single full line to the rhs calliper and a loop across to the lhs calliper? I just happen to have such a set-up here from my Bandit running Gixxer usds I can soon measure them up as they are headed for disMay over the weekend. I know I could keep them, but ....for how long? (How long's my ABS going to last? )

They are all stainless, uncovered braiding and stainless ends. Anyone know the thread pitch on the banjos?

This is the same set-up most Triumphs use (my TT6 and RS both had this).

You need to measure the length of the hoses needed to go back to the master cylinder and to each caliper.Add a a couple of CM,s to make sure hoses wont be tight.Work out what angle the banjos are and stick the lot on a drawing and fax your requirements to goodridge.
No problems in getting the setup you need.
