RE: braided lines - Steve - 28-10-2010
thanks mate but I just had a look at his feedback and he has 19 neg for the last month, mostly due to not sending items after payment, sounds like you got lucky to get them.

I got my Goodridge braided lines from the same seller in the UK (gixxerwezz) without any dramas (took a few weeks but no big deal).

I'm with Kev....I'm all for saving a few bucks here & there where I can, but I've never heard of Cobra Lines until I searched on the net. I'd stick with a known quantity, rather than an unknown one.

Other than the bling factor, is there any reason why you would go to braided lines while your bike is still quite new?
RE: braided lines - Troppo - 28-10-2010
The front brakes are quite wooden and lack bite, mate.
New lines and HH pads are the trick.
Haven't done it yet, but will soon.
RE: braided lines - Steve - 28-10-2010
just got this reply back from the UK seller
yes my HEL kits come with the fmv boots that is a legal requirement for road use in your country, Aussie suppliers say no so they can charge you more!!! I have family in Australia so i am well up on all the details you have to comply with and i am also listed on many Australian forums who buy direct from me and my website.
