Z1R Front Brake Lines

[wheelysteve]

Are these any good to use with an otherwise standard Z1R front brake set up?

Or is it sacrilege to fit these and stick to standard lines ?

No link Steve,

If you are talking about braided lines, my view is they are a safety upgrade and you can get them in black to resemble the original.

Oops, had a bit of a senior moment there.


These are the ones, HEL stainless brake hoses.

I've got the HEL black lines on the J
Safety upgrade and look more like original (or at least less obvious from a distance !)

I have Hel (black finish) brake lines - front and rear - on an otherwise standard set up Z1R.
They work very well and I would recommend them.

Any chance of a photo of the lines on the bike Kev ? Thanks Steve

These are the best pics I can take at the moment.
If you are after something identical to original in appearance you will spot they are slightly narrower and also
slightly less matt - more of a silk black in appearance. It was not an issue for me and the performance more than makes up for it. They came as a set and the lengths were spot on.
They replaced Venhills which in my opinion were not as good.

If the photos appear wrong orientation just click on them

Thanks for the pics. They look good to me
