Ok i have got some braided lines on my race bike and there working great but the thing is im not happy with the way there mounted.
Yes i put them on myself but they seem to be too long.
They both go right up to the master cylinder not split into two on the tripple tree like the originals did.
I have got them on but they seem to end up bending quiet a lot when the forks are pushed right down like when i brake on the track and i cant rerout them any other way as there's not much room before they hit the farring or other parts of the front.
My question is can i get these to somebody to re do the ends and make them so they fit on the original splitter and will this work?.

yes, someone can redo the ends, or refit new ends, depends on fittings. But you are talking about a 3 cable system which isn't necessary. Suzukis often run a 2 cable system with a loop over the mudguard. This is a dumb setup & isn't legal in US racing for example.

Call a local brakeshop & see if they do hoses & seem technically capable.

Two hoses as you have is simple & easy. Just they need to be the right length & routed so they aren't too short in full extension & don't rub on anything during their operation. Fitting orientation is quite often critical as well.
