I run hell.
But i fitted a set to my mates 08 ZX10, was impressed by them tho, their english and a lot of BSB teams use them.
They differ from others as in they use a flared flange and nut, like a car brake line, a bit of a fiddle to fit, but they fitted well, and look very well made, the advantage is that when fitted, u can make sure they sit right before u tighten up..

When he was getting the lines, i told him to get hell's, but when he arrived thats what he had..tristan from redline motorcycles got them for him, as they were cheaper than hell and goodridge, but anything is cheaper than goodridge!!
Go for it, they are very well made, just take care fitting them, and make sure the flanges are done up right...

If they use a flange & nut they will not be ADR approved....they have to be press fitted to pass ;)

I spoke to an Australian supplier and they are approved. I will triple check and I think I'll have a mechanic fit them to bleed the brakes also

Tagged = Good but still check on it that its for AUS compliance, let us know what you find?

We make our own lines for the race bikes with similar fittings & have been told if they can come loose (flange) they cant be tagged hence the press fitting for compliance for the locally made ones.
For the ADR they must conform to SAA, SAE, BS, JIS, DIN, ISO or ECE Standards, or FMVSS 106 Brake Hoses :D
