Anyone know if there are any pre-made stainless brake line sets available for the Bandit?
I priced out one of the universal sets (line, fittings, bolts and washers) and it came out to $60 or so for just the front. I know you can get two lines sets (ft/rr) for DRZs for like $54 but am not sure if the lengths/fittings would work.

I have two sets, one from Hel and one from Fischer Hydraulik. The ones from Hel were not so good as I expected, the top front brakeline (between te pump and the 'distributor') was way too short. I was able to fit it on the stock handlebar but it was very tight. I did get a replacement for that hose but for about $140 I would expect a little bit more quality. The ones from Fischer are alright though, I got those for about $110, front and rear. The Hel ones were only the front hoses.

Herr Tod - Like me, Randy has a US spec model with the single front disc. :sad:
Why are you doing the rear? Just for looks? The rear should lock-up at-will with the stock rubber hose.

Rob, it was purely out of curiousity: some of the DR kits come with it and at $54 complete, why not? And yes, just one front brake...
I figured that in a couple of weeks I was going to prepare the bike for it's long winter's nap and one of the things I wanted to do was to put in fresh fluid. Why not do the lines since it would require a bleed anyway?
