I am interested in buying a completed set of Braided lines.
I have got a quote from Wild Hair Accessories quoting the Spiegler Performance ones P/N-S-BM0108 which is a 6 line kit for $234.00 plus $35.00 for shipping. Spiegler does not ship out of US & forwarded Wild Hair to contact for that service.
The other is Cycle brakes whick is quoting FK003D245-5C for $180.00 plus $68.00 for shipping.It is a 5 line kit only.
They have 2 different types correct. Plain & plastic coated.

Your feed back on both is much appreciated thank you.

I am wanting to change before I have to. Thank you again.

Do you happen to have a local machine shop(or parts store) there that could just make them custom for you?

I have done the Spiegler route on my '95 a couple of years ago. I did notice that the 2 lines from the front caliper to the splitter fitting on the fork bridge were a little tight on length. They did fit but they could have been just a little bit longer.

Other than that I'm quite pleased with them, and would most likely buy another set for the '97 here in the next year or so.

I have spiegler and am happy with them. I did send the rear brake line back and had them shorten it some. It was so long that I could put a loop in it

Go to Power Brakes and get a quote - and choose your colour Smile

I had a pair made up for the front caliper to bridge on the K1100 in Sep 09 for $79 each. The downside is you'll possibly need to take a sample for them to build from.

Don't forget that anything you bring in from OS won't be ADR compliant so potentially could be picked on by Mr Plod. Mind you they would have to be really picky to worry about it.

For ADR compliant hoses check out these guys:-
