Steel Braided Brake Lines

[engrin]

Looking for the above in Bangkok for my cbr250r. Thanks

[yankee99]

I dont know about bkk but these can be imported cheaply. HEL (one of the best) line are sold by demon tweeksin the uk. You get a 20% vat discount and royal post is £10. these almost never get hit with thai tax...

There's a place in BKK that sells this type of thing, along with rearsets, levers, barend weights etc.

Can anyone remember the name, it's something like [superbike] followed by a number.

Superbike118 or Superbike711, something like that...

Not very helpful I know but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about?

[yankee99]

ap shop

rsv racing

kittisak

racing spec

moth racing

rs superbike

OK I found the one I was talking about...

TBH the site Yankee recommended looks a better bet.

I imported HEL lines into NZ. Cheaper and a better range than I could get at home. They have awesome colours as well as anodized fittings. Made a big difference to the feel of the front brakes and much less feel of fade when the rotor and pads got hot. Somehow the rigidity of the lines seemed to compensate for the rotor/pad loss of efficiency.

Couple that with a quick click change brake lever and fear of front end brake fade becomes a thing of the past.

HBLHBF2588-O £49

HBLHBR2588-O £24.98

RSV said they have front and rear for 2,000 thb

Are the Thai ones any good or am I going to regret the purchase?

I am not using them for race purposes just more comfortable braking.

Dont know but RSV has a good name I think for quality products.

That seems like a great price.

Non ABS I presume?

I have seen Goodridge at many places here at about 5000 baht a set

Non ABS.

Goodbridge? Haven't heard of that one yet.

"Goodridge"

A few places sell them here in CM like Pekkys & Kawasaki too I believe

but they are imported so not cheap about 5k

[RubberSideDown]

It probably won't help much as far as availability, but the quality of my Spiegler lines is top-notch in case you can find them.

I originally tried hel direct but ended up buying from demon tweeks. Cant remember for sure but i couldnt get the vat removed from the checkout price.

I bought rearsets from rsv and they are good but no instructions so the install was a little screwed up. The lines are from rsv and probably locally made. I msg rsv on fb and he responds fairly well.

5000 is pricey for a single front disc. The goodridge were cheaper the the hel lines. Both have a lifetime warranty.

[yankee99]

heres mine....although you can choose the banjo color if i was ordering again i would just have plain ss..

[Ace of Pop]

We often got Bikers ask our Hydraulic Guys at or Earthmover Depots,if they could make them up a set. No Probs, they did. They had already upgraded their own Bikes..

i have seen cheap steel braided lines at Worchak Bangkok for 300 thb per line.

also seen Earl's - but i think they were knock offs - for 500 thb at RSV racing.

Yeah when you see them being made it is a downright simple task...if you have the components

[yankee99]

I understood but i meant was only a single front caliper so just two lines as opposed to three for less $$ importing from the uk

Very True,but we had a Van Come round ,Snap on Tools type thing.From Air Con to Car Ramps. Worth a try anyway. Cant see our blokes paying the prices posted here. Anyway you Yong Bikers annoy me, i'm too Old Now, just a 70 Y.O. Boring Fart from the Motoring Section.

I bought Hel from the UK for my ER6n ABS. Happy with them. Everything as said above. Package contents were listed as "hydraulic lines." No tax. I bought them from: http://www.brake-lines.co.uk/

I was going to this Company

in Bangkok North-East, in Lat Phrao Road

[nikster]

Rear lines are pretty much just for show, right?

Because the rear brake line is short I would say

Less effect "felt" sure. Due to less length/quantity of line expansion robbing feel & stopping efficiency

But it also depends I think on what type of brake user

a person is as to whether they notice front or back line changes at all really.

Also most folks make line changes along with much better pads so general braking improvement is usually

noticeable & that is what most notice.

I remembered where I saw that page on making your own lines
