HEL Front brake hose
I have been interested in this product for a long time, and this was the first time I tried it.
First, the hose itself is very soft, allowing for flexibility in the hose arrangement, and finally, by adjusting the banjo, the twist in the hose after the arrangement can be corrected.
Stainless hose has been used in the past, but the task of correcting the hose twists caused by the HorseArrangement has always been a problem, so it has made the task very easy and enjoyable.
As for the feeling of use, I don't feel any difference between the other Stainless hose and the Large hose, but the Banjo bolt also comes with Stainless Steel, which shows the manufacturer's thinking in the parts. I would like to evaluate the durability in the future and continue to use it if it is good.

Used on Caliper side
Since you purchased HEL's Brake hose, you can use the Quantity:I bought it as a set
I am buying a banjo bolt with BreedNipple because the Caliper does not have an air vent.
The texture is so good that this alone makes me feel a little more Fashion.

Banjo related products are also available.
Since I bought the brake hose by order, the banjo bolt was also ordered by quantity.:I bought it in Set.
Failure to use dedicated products can cause Trouble.

The Carbon Hose is a Nice Subtle Addition on the Grom
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the stainless steel front brake hose from HEL. All components are stainless steel from the brake hose to the banjo fitting and even the banjo bolts. About the feeling of use: The look of the carbon hose is a nice subtle addition while the performance improvement is very noticeable when compared to the OEM Honda rubber hose. Products to buy together: The matching rear brake hose from HEL would also be desirable to purchase alongside the stainless steel front brake hose to complete the look and performance all round. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about one hour to complete, remove as much of the old brake fluid as possible from the reservoir then undo the banjo bolts and remove the OEM Honda brake hose. Route the HEL brake hose as the OEM Honda brake hose was and torque down the banjo bolts before bleeding fresh brake fluid through. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a quality front brake hose made from all stainless steel components as compared to some other brands that use aluminium and only at a slightly higher price. About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght was my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently this service is unavailable from Japan Post, EMS is much faster which is nice. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: HEL brake hoses use stainless steel for their hose material and use the crimped method for their banjo fittings which is the best material and manufacturing method you can get.

Upgraded Stainless Steel Banjo Bolt for the Grom
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the banjo bolt from HEL, made from stainless steel and sized in M10 with a metric thread pitch of 1.25. Nice that new copper sealing washers are also included. About the feeling of use: Previous owner of my Grom reused the OEM banjo bolts when installing stainless steel braided brake lines and the addition of the HEL stainless steel banjo bolts has now completed this upgrade. They look perfect with their slim design and wonderful surface finish. Products to buy together: Some stainless steel braided brake lines would also be desirable to purchase along side the stainless steel banjo bolts and HEL also have these on offer here on Webike. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about 30 minutes, position some rags to soak up any brake fluid that may leak out when the old banjo bolt is removed and install the stainless steel banjo bolt with it's new copper sealing washers and torque down to 34N m. I also bled the brake line to ensure no air was introduced into the system during the replacement. Not difficult to do. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a durable stainless steel banjo bolt as compared to the aluminium banjo bolts on offer from the majority of the companies and at no significant price difference. About shipping and packaging: Sea freight was my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently this service is unavailable from Japan Post, EMS is much faster which is nice. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: There are numerous designs, sizes and thread pitches available in banjo bolts so be sure to research and purchase the correct ones to suit your motorcycle.

Front Brake Hose from HEL
* About quality and texture, This product includes stainless steel banjo bolts along with the copper crush washers to complete the installation. Stainless steel banjo fittings are firmly attached to the the stainless steel braided hose via a swaging process. * About the feeling of use, Brake feel and performance have increased and the finish of the stainless steel hose with associated stainless steel hardware gives the braking system a much higher quality appearance. * Products to buy together, The matching rear brake hose from HEL is recommended. * Difficulty of installation, Installation includes the fitting and bleeding of the brake hose. The process was completed over several hours due to the difficultly bleeding all the air from the hose. * Cost performance and comparison with other products, There are cheaper stainless steel brake hose options available but when it comes to brakes you don't necessarily what that, I much prefer the banjo fitting to be swaged to the brake hose for safety. I have used HEL in the past and with continue to use them in the future for piece of mind while riding. * About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 8 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems. * Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, The Honda OEM rubber brake hoses do deteriorate over time so this purchase is not just about better performance but also about safety.

Rear Brake Hose from HEL
* About quality and texture, Stainless steel banjo fittings are crimped in place on the stainless steel braided hose and included are stainless steel banjo bolts along with the copper crush washers to complete the installation. * About the feeling of use, The appearance of the clear sheath over the stainless steel braid looks very impressive and the brake performance has definitaly improved over the old Honda OEM rubber hose. * Products to buy together, A new fancy Vee brake rotor from EBC would be nice to upgrade along with the brake hose for better performance. * Difficulty of installation, Installation included the fitting and bleeding of the brake hose. The process was completed in 60 minutes with no difficultly. * Cost performance and comparison with other products, The HEL rear brake hose is not the cheapest but still priced very well for a full stainless steel brake hose with crimped fittings for maximum safety and reliability from a world leader in braking. * About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 8 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems. * Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, If you are not familiar with the prcess of bleeding brakes them you may also want to purchase a brake bleeding kit to make sure all the air is removed from the newly installed brake hose, also available here on Webike.

Trusted quality from HEL Performance
Another HEL Performance stainless steel braided brake line for the rear of my Buell XB12S. As always a trusted quality product from HEL Performance with their safe and secure clamping method for the one piece banjo fittings so there is no chance of things going wrong out there on the road. Perfect fit and finish on this product but I did have to add some additional protection for where the brake line routes under the rear wheel hugger when I have it installed. Looking forward to another excellent experience with Webike. View detail

My go to brand for braided brake lines
When it came time to upgrade my front braided brake line on my Buell XB12Ss I went with my go to brand HEL Performance. Pricing is very far for a great quality product with a perfect fit and finish. It is great to see that Webike offer a large range of colour options to help you customise your motorcycle. Installation is a simple task, just be sure you use new crush washers on the banjo bolts and take your time to bleed the line so it is free of air so as to give you excellent braking performance from this stainless steel braided brake line. And as always excellent customer service and delivery time from Webike. View detail
Clear sleeve HEL rear brake line for the SV650
It took me some time to decide on which colour HEL Performance stainless steel brake line to go with on the SV650 as there are so many colours to choose from and I was very happy I went with the clear sleeve so you can see the raw stainless braided line which really goes well with the grey metallic paint on the motorcycle. Getting rid of the fat rubber OEM Suzuki brake line is nice and also too is the improved brake performance. View detail
Good and cheap brake bleed nipple cap
The brake bleed nipple rubber protective caps from HEL Performance are of good quality at a cheap cost. Over time out in the weather the rubber from the OEM brake bleed nipple caps will break down and the last thing you want is moisture getting onto your brake fluid causing spongy brake operations and corrosion within your brake system leading to component requiring replacement. Do yourself a favour and inspect these items when carry out your other scheduled maintenance and replacement them when needed. View detail
Bushing for brake line protection
When installation of brake lines is carried out do not forget the importance of mounting those brake lines securely to protect them from chaffing and possible snagging up while riding your motorcycle. These rubber bushings from HEL Performance carry out this job of securing your brake lines to the fork legs or swingarm very effectively and at a small cost dollar wise. Fittment as a whole is required prior to swagging on your hose end fitting or if your are replacing them due to worn out bushings you will need to cut one side to slide them over your hose.

Caliper stainless steel banjo bolts
No point refitting those old OEM Suzuki steel banjo bolts when it comes time to change out the OEM rubber brake lines for some stainless steel braided brake lines from HEL Performance. The cost of these bolts are market priced and the quality is excellent with no complainants from me. When ordering replacement banjo bolts or bleeder screws just keep in mind there are different diameter and thread pitch bolts and screws available from Webike and make sure you know what your motorcycle needs. Installation is straight forward just fit new copper crush washers and tighten to the required torque as per OEM specifications. View detail
Fastener upgrade while swapping out brake lines
When the maintenance job came up to upgrade to stainless steel braided brake lines on my Suzuki SV650 it was a no brainer to also upgrade the master cylinder double banjo bolt. Braided brake lines from HEL performance were used so to was their fastener to eliminate the chance of introducing problems into the installation process. The stainless steel double banjo bolt is excellent quality and the price is reasonable. No hesitation to use HEL perforamnce products again in the future. Do not forget to replace the copper crush washers when doing a job like this to prevent the possibility of fluid leaks. View detail
Brake line copper crush washer
Months after originally installing my black HEL performace braided brake lines I decided I wanted a different colour so removed these and transfered the used braided brake lines to another bike. I wanted to make sure I had no issues with the second install so purchased new copper crush washers to ensure they sealed correctly on installation. Product supplied from HEL as expected at a good price and perform as required. View detail
It doesn't have to be.
It's better to put it on to prevent Trouble.
OEM products are fine, but since they are consumable, cheap ones are fine.
However, the After product I've been using has also torn off the rubber after about two years and flew off somewhere while driving.
As I said, the durability of Rubber seems to be less than OEM. If you have some in reserve, you can rest assured that you'll be able to use them in case of an emergency.

When the heat is on, you're in your element
I tried something called CarbonPad for the first time
I used it in the Circuit, and I was told that the braking power is much better than Sintered Held
When I first warmed up, it didn't stop compared to the strength of my grip I was quite anxious about the brakes, but I gradually picked up the pace and the heat of the brakes I did a slightly pushy Brake when the Oh, I'm in my element when the heat comes on It has changed into a gruff Brake that reminds us that we are not alone
BrakeControl gave priority to braking power because they thought they could get away with it As a result, I felt that Brake is Carbon as an answer for one individual
However, since it is Carbon, I would never use it on a rainy day (Heat won't get into it.)

Purchased at Timing for inspection
Because it is an old car, there is no OEM Product available and you need to buy it from the United Kingdom on Net I found an adapted product on the webike It's slightly cheaper to import from the webike, but because of the unpredictability of the shipping time Purchase
I think I'll be a PC800User for a while longer
