Re: Break hoses
Would you not be better going for a set of braided line's ..
Probaly wouldn't cost much more but they are a better job.

Re: Break hoses
You say you've got "race" ones, if you fit a 2 line set to a 1WG the longer banjo bolt will touch the rev counter and fail the MOT
You need a 3 line set and a splitter. maybe you can use braided hose with an opaque black sheathing.
I wouldn't like to say R6 hoses will fit the lengths could be different and the only way to know is measuring them.
Welcome to th forum though

Re: Break hoses
i changed the standard m/c for a suzuki one, you can put the two lines on then! what regulations are you on about?
if its racing, i dont think they allow splitters over the mud guard.

Re: Break hoses
It can't be racing they'd get linched if they tried to make you use the crap OE hoses
It sounds more like German TUV, BTW the lifetime on a rubber hose is only about 4 years

Re: Break hoses
If its a regulation for racing its a mighty strange ,think most sets of regs allow for brake upgrades..
If you have trouble getting a set Littlebigpuff let me know I will be ripping the standard lines of my bike and replacing them with braided lines .
