Front brake hose (Now done!)

Hi guys:

Where i can buy a front braided brake line hose (not OEM) for my 2010 M800?
I checked in almost shops in EU and in hellbay also, but they do not have anything for 2010.
Even the 2011 don't fit, because they are  20º curved on top banjo and in the end, and mine at the end have the banjo straight.. :7348:  :7348:  :7348:  :7348:

Hi try Wezmoto  this is were I got mine from.

Good shout John.   
Must admit though José that I am very surprised that you require only a certain type specifically of bend, presumably you are trying to keep an exact look of original at that specific point. Which kind of makes me wonder why you are changing the rest to a non original braided pipe of non original look. Either way I hope you find the exact look you are looking for.  

First of all thanks so much John for the 2 links you left me… Great!!!

Hi Dave
It's not intentional to want this type of bend and so on...simply the standard one have only this way to fit. Specially in the end that enter between two "pins". If is curved, bent, it will not work.

Today a received a mail from a German seller that's the only problem is with the measures of the line brake. They will do any kind of brake line hoses. Between 94cm til 100,4cm!!!! :shock: 

The only problem is taking the right measure. As you know, the brake line "flows" out and inside the headlight and goes down, curve..and so on. With tape, no way. I must take perhaps with a wire against the brake til the end. I do not want to buy and after realize that's too short, not be able to turn around the handlebar and so on...

I am a "fanatic about security" and the standard brake one is too spongy for me and not work as i want and need to ride safe.
The next step it will be the sintered or maybe the ceramic/kevlar brake pads.

Hi guys
I just wanna let you know that I already have installed the front braided brake kit (thanks to John Two-Bears link).
It's a must have Mod nothing compared to the standard ones.
They greatly improve braking performance eliminating the spongy feeling you get from rubber hoses.

This will never fade due to heat build up and reduce brake lever travel which creates faster braking power and a much improved feel. Even with the standard organic brake pads, the difference is huge, believe me.
Asap, i will replace them with an HH Sintered pads. Another mod that for me is also a must have, in all weather conditions, stopping power, long life and also reduce the braking force at high operating temperatures.

 

Thats the sort of post we love to read, love it when a plan comes together  

That's a recommendation I like to hear  

Thanks  

Just been looking on Ebay & Amazon for prices, they may be reasonably priced but when everything is added together this site is costing me my retirement fund lol

At least you will have a cool bike   

Hello Jose,
Pleased all has worked out well for you, my mate read your post and has asked me to order a new brake hose for his bike,,, your enthusiasm is catching.

Did you tried here:

Hi ppl and thanks for your kindly feedback!!!.        

If you can buy one, you'll never want to brake with those "ugly rubber hose no more", because we have only one life, ok?
And if you can replace also the brake pads with an HH sintered ones, you will have a cherry on the top of cake 

Hi John Two-Bears: I owe you one, ok? If you had not sent the link, I would never have this kind of braking system.
 

Here they are 2 photos (sorry for the delay)   of the front braided brake kit, thanks to John Two-Bears link





If you can and want, it's a must have in safety for you and your bike 

Safety & looks, who could ask for anything more  

Looking good, real good. Excellent mod done.  

That is a well fitted and smart mod, have you noticed any difference in the braking as standard lines do tend to balloon slightly under braking pressure

      Jose.

 

3 mods are coming...and ONE MORE (if all goes well a brico) like MacGyver.
When i have all installed, i will post here, ok? 


P.S. Hi Nigel: about difference between this one and the oem, read what i wrote before about it, ok?

Hey guys. Gonna add this here rather than make a new thread but would this link fit my 2005? Not sure if the banjos are different or something.
