What a game-changer this braided brake hose kit is! I was skeptical at first, thinking it would be just another upgrade that wouldn’t make a difference. But boy, was I wrong!

My only question is: will they be releasing a version for other bikes besides the YZF-R3?

What’s the best way to install these braided brake hoses? Are there any specific tools or precautions I should take?
Hi Alvin, thank you for your question! Installing our braided brake hoses is a relatively straightforward process, but we do recommend taking some precautions to ensure a smooth installation. First, make sure you have a clean and dry workspace. Next, disconnect the old brake lines from the calipers and master cylinder. Then, use a tube cutter or a hacksaw to cut the new braided hoses to the correct length. Finally, use stainless steel banjo bolts and copper washers (which are included in our kit) to secure the new lines to the calipers and master cylinder. Some additional tips include wearing gloves and safety glasses during installation, using a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening of the banjo bolts, and bleeding the brake system after installation to remove any air that may have entered the lines. If you’re still unsure or feel uncomfortable with the process, we recommend consulting our installation manual or seeking the assistance of a professional mechanic.
I was blown away by the superior braking feel this kit provides! The stainless braided hoses truly make a difference in reducing the flex in the hose, making my bike handle like a dream. Installation was a breeze, and I love that it comes with a full HEL Performance lifetime warranty.
I’m impressed with how well this kit fits my Yamaha YZF-R3. The stainless steel banjo bolts and copper washers make for a secure connection. However, I wish the PVC cover adhered to the braid was a bit thicker to prevent any scratches.
