    Braided hose kits....

    Ive been looking at Goodridge braided hose kits on ebay for the 750 as I want to replace mine.

    Who has used them, and do they make much of an improvement?

    Are there any other good brands out there worth using? Goodridge kits are pricey enough, though I know its money well spent.

    The ones on ebay give the make & model for each kit, so I guess its safe on lengths/size etc......Or are they!
    I want to buy a full complete kit thats easy to fit.

    Thanks

    Seanie, I just asked this question last week and Nessism has a great post in the popular technical area. I'm going to order from these folks as soon as I can afford it (it's not bad but I have other commitments right now). Let me go see if I can find the link, be right back.

    Here it is:

        TBH not sure the brand of the kit... but goodridge rings a bell. I got them from Z1 and they where really easy to put together and install. Took a bit of measuring the old lines, and roughly measuring the angle and type of bend for the end pieces and then counting up how many crush washers I needed.

        Anyways I would highly recommend using Z1 for them.

          What I like about these is that they have a PVC covering and are not bare braided.

              Hi,

              I use the Goodridge lines on my bike and they work just fine. I probably could have saved some money if I'd followed Mr. Nessism's advice. Here it is:

              (Oops, I see I have to fix the links on that page. Sorry.)
              EDIT: OK, links fixed.


              Thank you for your indulgence,
