I think I might treat my ST4 to a christmas pressie to replace the 17 year old OEM lines. Question...What is the difference between the full length race (2 piece) and the OEM (3 piece) apart from the obvious number of lines and price? I only use the bike for Sunday jaunts out, so are there disadvantages to the cheaper 2-piece race option?
If its the up and over mudguard, the 2 piece race means 2 separate lines with single banjos on the calipers. That makes it easier to get the calipers off when removing the wheel. Downside is its another line to run, you may want to use clips to keep it tidy and you'll need a double banjo at the master
Excellent link! I was after some race hoses (2 full length) for my 1098 so they are "in the bag". I also wanted some for my M1100S Monster but they don't list them....are they the same as an M696? I think the m/cyl is different..
Thanks for the info guys, decided to go with the "race" option. Now got the fun of bleeding the fluid through new lines. Think that'll be a job for after Christmas.
Might be worth just reminding them it's the 1.0mm pitch you need as the 1st lot they sent me was wrong - they did however just pop me some in the post no quibble so top guys
Thanks for info, quick question. I have 2010 848... I'm upgrading to monobloc from a evo but don't have them yet. Should I order 848 or the evo versions? Is there any difference in the banjo's? TIA Stu
