Hel brake lines
Anyone ever used the Hel brake lines on the 14? The recent spiegler topic got me looking.
Cheers

the only ones I have heard bad things about is the goodridge lines.
I have heard the banjo's are not sealing on some of them .
I have never personaly used HEL or goodridge and cannot comment from personal experience.

You say that like you suspect problems? Thats one product that has never given me a problem. Galfers of mine have been through hell too, but they seem to fade in the FL sun quickly and such which is aggrevating

Just fitted a Hel rear to my 14. Going with the fronts shortly.
Had them on my ZZR 1100, 04 R1, 07 R1, ZX12R and others.
Always good, no problems and very well engineered, I recommend them.
Have used Goodridge as well but prefer the build of the Hels.
Ride Safe.

I've got an HEL on the rear with no prolems. Bought a set of Goodridge for the front & all the banjo's were at the wrong angles not matter how they were routed, returned them & got a set of Galfer lines that worked.

Interesting to here about goodridge sealing problems but they have lifetime warranty . I had lines custom made by them including my clutch line and zero issues.
