    Hey guys!
    So I'm treating myself to a set of Hel braided lines tomorrow from our friends over at Biker Discount Stores. Only thing is I don't know what colour to order!! My bike is a black de-stickered 06 one, what colour do you think would go nice? I'm swaying towards red just to break things up a bit and to go with the Yoshimura can logo and red stripes on my new lid, can I get a bit of insperation with pictures of your lines pleases lol!
    Here are the choices -

    Prefer the clear look myself, although the carbon doesn't look bad

    Mines a 20th Anniversary Red model and I'm torn between black to match the metalwork or the trans Red to contrast with it??
    leaning towards red I think.....

    regarding yours I would go for Carbon...goes with bike but shows the braided

    I was looking at braided lines the other day for my 2013 ABS blade. Seems they don't do a kit for ABS, am I wrong? I was looking at HEL lines.

    HEL will do the kit direct from them. It ain't cheap though, and more than just a quick bolt on and done job. You have to do a little fettling to get it neat and tidy.

    Had a HEL Kit on my ABS Bike, the Kit was around £170 I think off Arthur, but the fitting and Bleeding was a nightmare!

    Mine had red on when I got it. If I had the choice they would have been black.

    Me too! Suits my bike well since it's all black anyway. I put on a carbon exhaust shield and black rearsets...stealth bike!

    I went for the carbon look with gold rings (or how they call them)... Fantastic and it goes well with the repsol look. I think!

    Just a quick update!
    So, I went for the translucent red lines in the end....bit of a random last minute decision! Have you guys kept the original set up on the front or have you gone for the two line from master cylinder set up?
