kick up a bloody fuss with them your entitled to what you paid for

Well, the chances of me getting a refund is precisely fuck all and whilst they have now offered exchange them, they are cheap shit plated banjo's which will rust and tarnish in no time, so I decided to cut my losses and get the job done properly ... a bit like with the robbing twat vsenna who swindled me out of £70 for some fucked brake discs (there, I feel a bit better now )

Moving on, I decided to get it sorted properly with a bona-fide brake line manufacturer http://www.hosetechnik.com/  . They were fairly priced (charged me just under £40 for a couple of hoses stainless fittings bent to shape, new stainless banjo's and copper washers) and I took the bike over to Gloucester this afternoon where they are based (part of Forge Motorsport), they made them up exactly to my specification while I waited and I swapped them over and bled them up there and then.

Just a nice job of it 





All I need to do now is give the bike a good clean 

does look good that ash haha yeah was going to say all she needs is a clean now

I'm also fortunate that I have http://www.pro-bolt.com/  about 4 miles from me in Tewkesbury ... yet again, another top company which has come through trumps for me today with. Supplied me a couple of Titanium lock nuts for my frame sliders, one of them stripped the bolt, I called them to explain, and they sorted it no problem at all.. then gave me a screen fastening kit for my B1.

There are quality companies (and people) out there. I only wish I had not found the dodgy ones first.

did they really need to be titanium you tart....... oh gave you as in free?

I bought 2 Ti nuts last night for a tenner (sharp intake of breath I know) as they didn't have any stainless ones in stock (M10's), one had a problem and they gave me another 4 (result :D ) They supply all the BSB teams and are a pro operation.

very nice I dread to think how much all the titanium on the b1 had cost me its quite scary

These brakes are now as good as anything I've ridden in terms of feel and responsiveness, they are brill . These actually feel sharper than the braided lines I took off in terms of bite on the lever.

wore the calipers a straight swap or did you need to modify them? been along time since I did mine will be looking for another set when the b1 goes back on the road selling the brembos

Looks like 2mm ish spacers?

that's what I was thinking but wanted to make sure

3mm spacers on 300mm dia discs off an 07 600 ninja. They are galvanised washers which I stuck some paint on to reduce galvanic corrosion between all the metals. I'll probably get them and the fork legs all painted to match when I get the forks revalved. Calipers are off an 07 R6

All I'll say on this topic is, just be careful buying braided hose from the internet to avoid disappointment.
