Motorcycle Race Gear: Why use Braided Brake Line on your Motorcycle!

Why you should upgrade your Motorcycle brake lines to Braided Brake Lines.

Stainless Steel Brake Lines is one of the most bang for buck modification on any motorcycle, whether you ride a sportsbike, cruiser or tourer motorcycle.

There are several reason you should upgrade your standard rubber lines on your motorcycle.

First and foremost is that over a period of time and going through heat cycles the rubber will brake down.

Motorcycle Braided Brake Lines will also reduce the amount of expansion in the brake line so you wont have a mushy lever or bad brake response.

Braided Brake Lines will offer a very consistent feel on the lever, deliver excellent performance on the brake lever in terms of feel and because the motorcycle brake lines are steel they are not going to expand and contract with heat. So when you first install the motorcycle brake line kit, whatever you feel will always remain the same.

Motorcycle Race Gear supply Hel Braided Brake Lines.

Hel Braided Brake Lines are ADR approved, and are available in several colour combinations.

Available in the following configurations:

Over 3000 combinations available to suit almost any motorcycle thats ever been produced.

F - Full length. The racers choice. Two full length lines run from master cylinder to each front caliper. Less weight, less fluid movement & more routing options. This has also started to become OEM fit on recent models.

O - Over the mudguard. One full length line from master cylinder to right hand caliper. Second line runs from right hand caliper to left hand caliper over the mudguard. This has also started to become OEM fit on recent models.
