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.

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 :grin:

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.

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

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 .

Try HEL, they use swaged lines not threaded fittings-
