Ian - normally if you measure the lengths and number of your exisiting hoses, it's possible to get a custom set made up. I've heard of HEL doing this for folk.
Hope you get sorted.

thanks for that but i wanted a kit that could be fitted at my next service as the bleeding looks tricky. have have fitted hoses to my other bike and blead them but this looks like another level of pluming to me

There's many an industrial place that have the capability to produce braided lines for cars and bikes, made to measure. I've used Cleveland Flexible Engineering for quite a lot of mine over the years. look them up and/or see if there is anything similar in your area. You should be abel to tell them the materials you want, lengths and end fittings you need. Most of the price is in the end fittings not the length.

Speak to Goodrich direct, just because they are not listed doesn't mean they can't supply. I think they are still in Exeter and it might mean a trip down there to measure up and check the angles of the banjos. They used to discount the first set for a new bike to add to their listings.

What about the ones from a Rockster ? All the forks/brakes are the same. Handlebar positioning is a bit different but not much.

Goodridge are located at Exeter Airport, if you do come down pm me and maybe we can meet up as I only live about 5 miles from the airport. I might be interested in new hoses myself if funds allow it.

i emailed goodridge and they said to send my old hoses to them and would see what they could make up for me. not much good to me when the weather is picking up and you want to ride the wheels off it.
