After some braided hoses for my CB750k6. Seen HEL recommended on here so messaged a seller on eBay and although it’s advertised for a CB750k he couldn’t confirm if the ones pre made up by HEL use the rigid metal pipe or not (I don’t want to use it).
He said he actually makes them up to order aswell and can do it in a number of ways,
firstly he can do a like for like replacement which retains the original brake switch and be in three pieces to replace the upper hose, lower hose, and metal pipe bit
Secondly he can do a two piece (replacing the lower hose and metal pipe with once piece) again retaining the original brake switch
Thirdly he can do a once piece which requires a banjo pressure switch bolt for the brake light (I actually have a brake lever with a switch built in.
What do most people go for? To be honest I’d like a once piece but since I’m wiring my bars internally I don’t want an external wire heading down to the loom, and where the connection for the brake switch is on the bars it would require another separate hole if I wanted it internally routed, think the handlebars will have enough holes in them as is!
