Front Brake Hoses

(1/3) > >>

Dave1234:
Hi all, thinking of changing the front brake hoses on the good old 550k3 for braided ones. So obvious question is what are the best ones to buy and from where? It is good to get others people thoughts before I buy.Cheers in advance for any replies.

Dave1234:
Also do the braided hoses go all the way to the caliper so you don't need to use the copper brake pipe?

JustcallmeMrT:
I went with Venhill brake lines and fittings (20 deg. banjos) run directly from the caliper to the MC.  You just need to make sure that the position of the fittings doesn't torque the caliper at an angle, but it's not difficult to set up.  I ordered direct from their website.

Thanks Mr T, does that mean you by-passed the stop switch or am I being stupid?

JustcallmeMrT:
I've got controls from an R1 so my switch is on the lever.... you could run it to the stop switch and then up from there, would just need an additional 2 banjos.
