How much of a difference will they make to my bike? I am after a 'sharper' feel to the brakes, so is this the best route to go down?

Only come into there own on the track or if your a heavy breaker. your notice the difference straight away when you brake you only have to squeeze the brake it feels solid def worth every penny:thumb:

YES!!!!!!!!!










If you can be bothered then change the pads aswell, strip and clean the calipers and they should feel lurrrvely.....although it depends on the condition of the current hoses, but they should definately improve.

yup... mucho improvemento... esp if you've got an older machine. I've got them on my Scoob, ZX10 and also a set to fit on my Land Rover Discovery (reminds me must get round to that soon :lol1: )

Mick :D

As above big fan of the change, on my scoob and blade. you do notice the improvement.

Thanks for the replies, they all seem to be positive comments, so I will be getting some fitted. Any recommendations? I was thinking of getting some from helperformance.com.

Sometimes get some real bargains on ebay - Goodridge used to sell some on there themselves I believe - I got my Discovery set for £10 :eek: - since no-one bid against me :lol1: - hasn't done me much good since I haven't fitted them yet :wonder:

A friend has Hel lines on his Gixer 750 and he's more than happy with the improvement.... although he does run non standard brake pads as well. But his brakes are now soooo sharp!

I run braided hoses on my Gixer and also a Brembo master cylinder and lever. Fantastic improvement over standard. Braided is the way to go. :)

Fitted Goodriges to my RGV (now sold) made a big improvement, will fit some to my blade over the winter.

Ok, bike booked in this Friday to have them fitted!

No! Don't pay someone to do it! Honestly,they are so easy to fit.

I've just won a brand new complete Hel 3-line kit for my VFR750 on eBay for the princely sum of £29 including the postage :)

I paid £17:84 for Hel 3 piece set (fazer 600) bargain of the century. From this guy.

I thought about doing it myself, but it's the brakes and I'd rather leave them to someone who knows what they're doing. I know the guy and he's not charging me a greate deal anyway.
