Braided lines for my 12R

Howdy all,

I want to have HEL braided lines fitted to my 06 ZX12R. My question is which type is best? HEL list two fitting types - Full race (two lines back to the front master cylinder) or Over (line from master cylinder to one caliper then over the guard to the other caliper). Which is best for street use?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Mick

One line to each caliper from the M/C ;) You can then piss the splitter do-dad thingy off ;)

I run the 2-lines up the m/c Mick, it works great. But I also use the 'loop' system on the Black Pearl, and that works good too.....either system will be fine for the street, it just depends on the 'look' you are after.

I went the loop on the gixer just because it was the same as the original setup and had guides to match. You can do either it's up to you. Make sure you stipulate which master cylinder you have "brand" and slave cylinders also, as they come with different threads.
