Do NOT get anodised alloy fittings, they will corrode even in 'fair weather' use and the first that you will know about it is when they crack under braking. Get zinc or stainless.

Goodridges do some cheap stuff.

I personally got HEL lines at 28 odd quid each. Stainless fittings only though as has been said.

at the end of the day do you want to scrimpe on your brakes??

I'm getting the HEL stainless ones off the HEL site, they are the cheapest I've seen for quality ones.

I wanted braided lines until I realised that a Honda CBS System comprises of 10 lines...

Which of your bikes are they for?

I got HEL lines from Banditmania cheaper than the prices HEL themselves list - look there if it's for your B12.

The thing is not to get reusable ones, there pointless and there shit.

I have some zinc plated earls ones and they have allready been on one of my bikes.. there not even mildly furry even after 2 winters and more or less everyday use.

They are for the GSXR. The bandit may be going soon if i can secure a replacement.
Ive found some Earls ones, they are for a K1-K2, will they fit my K4?

I wouldn't expect so. The K4 has different brakes and forks to the K1.

cheapest, not cheap. I dont mind paying market rate or whatever, i just wanted to know who the best priced suppliers were.
why pay £85 in one shop if i can get them for £45 in another. Wink
