is there actually any diff between the diff brands or will any do?
Yes mate you can really feel the response
the only difference as far as I can see is the price.
I fitted Hel ones. Feel good quality, no probs. Fitted Goodridge to my mates bike (same as mine). Didn’t appear any different. Only being that he paid over £40 more than me!
Ive used Goodridge, Earles and HEL.
All much of a muchness, just the price differs.
Go for stainless fittings as the zinc ones go furry quite quickly
I’ve only used quality stainless steel Goodridge on my bikes…R6 and R1.
They fur up, but they don’t rust like mild steel and the fur comes off when the bike is washed (not often).
I’ve heard that HEL lines corrode, but I would imagine, like Goodridge, they make a Premium and Budget line and they are a big manufacturer so I don’t really believe they could really be inferior.
My experiences say, use Goodridge.
