BRAKES???

[monaro_77]

I have fitted R1 gold spot calipers on my TRX using the complete set up but want braided lines when I go to order them should i ask for the TRX length with R1 fittings?

Being an Aussie, are you planning to get HEL lines?

I have HEL lines which I had fitted to the standard TRX brake callipers before I got a set of R1 gold spots. The lower banjo fittings need to be rotated 90 deg to suit the gold spots, which is possible to do with the HEL lines. It is possible to damage the heat-shrink though because it involves grabbing the fitting with a pair of vice-grips on the shaft section just behind the bump then placing a fat philips-head screw driver (or similar) through the banjo and rotating it to where you want it.

Having said that, if you contact HEL and explain what you're doing I'm sure they could make them to suit.

Here's a couple of photos to show the length and fit:



So the short answer to your question is.......yes.

Got a phone call from the fella's at Hel about my custom brake lines shortly after I sent an email explaining what I wanted. What a bloody LEGEND so easy and simple 3 new braided lines should arrive Monday.

Excellent! I've always found them great to deal with too.
