    Does anyone know or have a certain link to a brake line kit for the 3LN.
    After 3 master cylinder rebuilds on 3 bikes the brakes are still soft.
    I thought it was just me but I substituted a set off an RGV & it made a big difference so I'm on the hunt for a braided set & thought the brains trust here might have a quick answer.
    we've got a ride day on the 7th I need them for, bad time of the year, I know !
    I'll post a pic of the latest Frankenstien.

    I should have added, will FZR400 sets fit ? There are 400 kits on ebay but none for 250’s. 400 part numbers are very close to 250’s so im guessing / hoping they are a good fit. There are cheap sets out there & wondering if theyre good enough at half the price of others.

    I think HEL & Venhill will make them to order. You can also assemble them yourself with AN-3 brake fittings and line. Just do not use any aluminium fittings. Also you could 1mm larger in your master cylinder piston size for a firmer feel.

    Hi to all. I had a S/S braided brake line made up via my old home town bike shop. Try ringing around the bike shop's , surely someone must be able to make one for you.

    Standard brake and clutch workshops as well as anyone specialising in hydraulics will very likely have the bits and pieces necessary for these

    For example both the local Enzed and Warringah brake and clutch had the parts and hardware necessary when I enquired with them
