Goodridge hose fitting

<< < (2/4) > >>

Spitfire:
That looks a bit chunky, I used HEL on mine.

Yes, that looks a little more elegant with an angled fitting. Did the HEL kit come with everything needed as in your picture ?

I've dropped the seller an email complete with photo of fitting. I've nothing to lose so lets see what response I get. I bought the kit way back in Jan but I've only just fitted it so here's hoping I get a favourable response. I'd be happy to use the standard pipe if he supplies the shortened hose.

Thanks
Steve

Here's the fitting on mine. As I recall the large grommet to fit in the support on the mudguard came with it.
Does the HEL hose have this fitted?

I bought the braided hose lines from a firm called CMS on eBay, this was in 2007, I just specified what I wanted as below, I also sent him my old brake lines for reference.

 "As discussed could you please make up a new top hose (MC to 3-way splitter) and make up a single new bottom hose to replace the standard bottom hose and pipe section (3-way splitter to brake calliper). To maintain the bikes standard appearance the lines should be black sheathed"

The grommet on the HEL lines does not really fit anything though and is not strictly necessary.

The bike is not ready for the road yet and still very much a work in progress so the mudguard has not been fitted yet. In the picture I have used a tie wrap on the fork leg just to keep the hose away from the wheel temporarily. Even with the mudguard fitted the angle from the caliper wouldn't change.  Its clear from the Spitfire picture that the hose is angled backwards immediately from the caliper towards the forks rather than my setup which sends it towards the wheel, this is what I'll be hoping to do. Maybe the second picture shows it better.
