    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

braided hose - uk purchase

Hello,

I have a 1979 GS550E, single disc brake on the front.

The brake is pretty S*** and even after a good bleed, I can almost pull the brake lever to the handle bar. I think the rubber brake hose is old and needs replacing..

I have been looking online for braided hosts but can't seem to get the cost down - ?80 seems a bit to much money?

Any ideas how I can source a lower cost braided brake hoses? Maybe I should just stick to rubber?

cheers
 
Thank you !!!

What would you recommend for a brake service kit? Thinking new seals?
 
Many Thanks - Just send this guy a message. Is there a rebuild guide on here?
 
Have you not been in contact with Goodridge? They make hoses in the UK fr a price that still makes sense to have them shipped here, so I would think they'd be reasonable
 
If you're in the uk and you want braided brake hoses made up and West Bromwich is within your reach, go see James Lister Motorsport under the M5 between juncts1&2
