M&P have a sale on brake lines on their ebay store.

Hel Lines

Goodridge Lines

You forgo the luxury of choosing the line colour, but for considerably less cost than trade price, you can't argue.

Cheers, Tom.

I don't understand how a front 3-line kit would work for my bike... The front 3 brakelines are all attached at one little metal block, that also attaches them to the mudguard. But there is no way to remove or attach the brakelines. Neutral Question

Not sure mate, does the block come off the mudguard?

The whole lot gets replaced normally. Normally you'd run 2 lines direct from the M/c. With a special banjo bolt, one line to each caliper.

The block does come off the mudguard, but the lines are integral to it. There is no connector as such, all 3 lines are attached into one piece through the little block.

I could run the two seperate lines, but I'd have to figure out a way to attach them out the way. The metal/rubber P clip on the bottom yoke will only go around one line you see. I'd also have to get a P clip to put on the other side of the mudguard. The current lines are very rigid, and being an over-the-mudguard setup, the lengths of hose are very short.

There are brakelines for my bike in both those eBay links, but I'd be a bit apprehensive about buying them. I think I'd rather buy exactly what I wanted directly from the manufacturer, just for the peace of mind, and support if i have problems.

A good find none the less Thumbs Up Karma

I had them on my CBR600FY. Line straight from M/c to each cylinder, I forget how they were held to the mudguard/forks. (Probably weren't).

If not, cable ties are your friend!

i just bought a full set of these a couple of weeks ago for £60, i also had the problem of making the existing p-clips work, but as mentioned here, cable ties are indeed your friend and hold the lines very well. I honestly don know what i'd do without cable ties, they really are a gift from god Laughing
