Hi all, i have been thinking of putting a braided line kit on my zxr400, just spoke to a guy who sells the Hel lines and he recomends me to go for a 2 lines str8 from the master cylinder rather than the 3 way system. Can anyone tell me if this would be a good idea going for the 2 line setup, I use the zxr for mainly road use but i am looking at setting it up for a possible track day aswell. so a sytem that works well for both would be ideal.
Any recomendations?
Any improved brake response?
Cheers

2 lines is the best way to do it,

splitter's suck, and the "down to one then over to the other" arrangement leaves you open to a no brakes scenario if anything gets picked up by the wheel and rips out the mudguard and/or link over the wheel .. which is why its not allowed in racing

Cheers Zimm, i thought it would give a better response, kind of obviouse if you think because it is missing one line so giving more presure to the calipers i presume? =S....... Now its a case of finding some at a good price =)...

+1 with what he just said.

I got 2 lines straight from the master cylinder, and you will notice the difference

Do you know any good places to get the lines from? and also i thought there is the line from the brake fluid chamber to the master cyclinder on the leaver, is there a way to get that hose braided to? Just a thought cus its a big ugly (scaryley spungy feeling) old stock line... and my brakes are feelin shot to high heaven at the moment

no need cos its not under pressure.....

ah, duh had a bit of a blank moment =), would still look nice braided to match the two main lines...

agreed,

have lok on ebay for mini brake fluid thingys.

some really nice stainless steel ones

try everythingbutbikes ,they have quoted me £15 per line plus the fittings for the two lines for the front
not too sure how much the fittings are as not upgraded mine yet

£15 each? Is that with the end fittings etc? Cos that's damn cheap. Wemoto are quoting £50.96 for the complete race set-up Hel hoses and they are usually pretty competitive. That includes all the banjos on the ends and new stainless banjo bolts http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Kawasaki/ZX ... -03/#BRAKE . And you can choose your colours. Having bought a set of Hel hoses (in standard set-up, I've never had a problem with the feel of the standard set-up so, if it ain't broke, don't fix it) I can say that quality is A1.

Ive got the dual line setup on my ZXR, works fine. I have HEL braided lines too.

anyone got any idea on the length of front brake lines ???
