Hi all,
Time for a brake upgrade. Anyone using these lines ? They look the goods and seem well priced in comparison.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers,
Mick.

I have them on my bike, very happy with the quality of both the fittings and the lines themselves.
Hel use either Stainless or Titanium fittings because aluminum can cause an eletrolitic reaction with the different metals involved. Check their website out, it shows some of the aluminum fittings that have corroded.

Yeah I have them on my ZX7R and they are good. Appear excellent quality and mine are colour coded green - woohoo. They do have a few configurations to choose from so double check you get the right ones. I also bought mine from a guy on ebay at a fraction of the retail price. He has heaps of them for sale for all different makes and models all of the time.

hidepenny,
I've just ordered a set from these guys
http://www.austreetfighter.com.au - very helpful.
All HEL lines they sell are ADR compliant which means they are legal on Aus roads. They come with stainless fittings as standard with a choice of colour on lines and fittings. $ 154 for a 2-line front plus postage
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mick

Ahhh, You should have waited I just sent them an e-mail asking if they'd give us a discount.
I just got the reply stating, if we get 5 sets they'll give us a 10% discount.

MadKaw - 04 zx10 -green
James - 89 zxr750 - ?
Hidepenny - zx2r - Black
Plasma Blue - 05 zx6r - blue

Although I just noticed they give OSB members a 10% discount.

Yep, we'll get as many as we can..
Everyone that wants something from these guys, can you put on a post what you want, colours, what bike its for and if you want front and rear lines or just front...
I'll run with it and see how he wants payment when the products are confirmed.
