HEL SS brake lines

Good choice for stock replacement?

I've heard HEL makes nice lines for the most part but the US distributer is not always easy to deal with.

Rennsport out of Canada is very popular, particularly because they are cheap and have good service. You can order through ebay.

Personally, I prefer to make my own lines using Earl's parts. It's quite easy, all the various parts are made in the USA, and you can pick whatever hose end configuration and line length you need. I was told by the guy that owns the local Earl's store (AN Plumbing) that the screw together hose ends have a HIGHER pull off force than the machine crimp type. That sealed the deal for me. Oh, and they are just about the cheapest way to get your hands on stainless lines too.

Got a link?

They look pretty pricey, Dave , at 49.00+ per line
I took my 4 stock lines to a hose & equipment shop & had them make me new S.S. lines & banjo fittings for less than 120.00, & you can get them back the same day, or if they're not busy, you can wait while they make them up for you

Been using the black hel lines for about 7 years - big improvement on standard ones.They came to about $160 for kit here.
Service was excellent
They are illegal here of course.
Dumb as usual !!

The Gafler lines look good but again pricey.. The thing that i didnt care for with them is I can get them to tell me the length of the lines that come in a kit.
dumbest thing i ever heard..i called the company to verify if they would fit and all i got was ..they will make custom lines for me ..extra fee of course.. I could not pry the length out of him..why in the world is the length a secret!!

So you will buy it, come up short and have to buy more. I'd pass.

I have the HEL set on my ZRX, very nice and great fit up.

The Stainless/Red combination might compliment the Luminous Passion Red bodywork paint nicely.
Any thoughts on that?

I think that would look great & most hose & equipment places have a variety of colored plastic covers/coatings to choose from,
see what your local place has & take it from there

Since my bike is silver, I just went with the natural S.S. color
