Hi there,
I can get a goodridge brake line set in red wich will match the 6R perfectly.
Because my bike is currently in the garage untill end of winter i was wondering if someone is able/ want to meassure the lengths of the front and rear brake lines so i can compare them to the ones i mentioned before.
Looking forward to any reply
Very Happy

...I bought red brake and clutch lines for my 6R fighter when I built it.
I thought it would look real cool.....I wish I had bought black lines all those years ago Crying or Very sad





Anyhoo....the measurements you want are....wait for it.....





...640mm and 660mm...Hope that sorts you out Wink
Now...what we need are PICTURES Laughing

...Ahh...Forgot the rear.... Rolling Eyes





...Overall length is...490mm....
Take note ... all measurements are OVERALL measurements...
Take note 2 ... the angle of the banjo fittings Wink
Take note 3 ... The original rear hose that goodridge supplied was 700mm long so ensure you get the correct lengths or better still, have a word with Tony at Motodex and get him to make you some HEL hoses
Now where are the pictures Rolling Eyes

thanx for the input and time....too bad, the ones that i've found are too long 2 times 690mm and rear 525mm.
I don't think hoses that long are a good idea...if you still want a black set for your 6R please let me know so i can take over your red lines wich are currently mounted.

Very Happy

...My red hoses will be too long for your bike. I have high, Renthal bars on my 6R..

...Get in touch with motodex, they will make hoses to your specification Wink
