Hi everyone
Time to do mine 10 years old now.
I was just wondering what the collective thoughts are about best make, fit and value for money.
Cheers

I have HEL on mine. If you hold off until December they usually have a big sale (they have in the last couple of years).

Thanks to both of you, I was looking at Hell but December seems not too long away, I will definitely wait until then.
Thanks for the tip, any dosh saved is always good.
Much appreciated.

Got Hel brake lines on my other bike (ZX9) and have had no problems. A really good improvement

I've just fitted BF Goodrich to my BMW. Standard for the Beemer is a complex set up. They were a perfect fit and everything went together without issue. Look very well made to boot.

Thanks for all the replies.
From me googlings it looks like Hell are the only ones that do a complete kit, may be wrong.
But at £199, I think I will wait until December and see if they do have another sale.

Do these make a real improvement to the brakes?
I'd be very happy with better brakes on my 650..

I'm not sure I noticed improved braking as such, but my brake lines were old and due changing.
@Ian, if you do get he full kit be mindful of the pipe for the rear ABS unit. I couldn't get the nut to budge on it so ended up leaving it rather than risking damaging the nut.

Thanks for the tip.
I think I will start some easing oil now, can’t hurt.
