Cost about $180 for a complete fit set up for the front of your bike .

But that's what I am asking... Can't you get a place that stocks the braided "NZ LTA standard" brake lines and do the crimping themselves?

There by cutting cost,still making tones of profit and helping the local economy... Why import the shit if we can make locally!!!

NO ! The lines are brought into the Country Pre made to lenghts already Crimped . Shops by law can not sell none crimped end lines now . Can give you number of Eurobike here mate works there & could get them abit cheaper if ya like some . Would just need to get the lenghts of the old lines & angle of bangos fitting to suit

You sure can. I'm pretty sure Mr Margheretti (spelling?) is still the distributor. Hell, even I can make street legal stainless lines up... but there's no money in it compared to rubber lines, so no point. Maybe if I needed some myself I would consider it, but they don't offer any advantages to me.

Thanks for the offer mate... I am just a bit frustrated to see how things are limiting growth in this country.

Up until a couple of months ago you could buy and fit and get a warrant on braided lines which are made to length with a standard fitting on each end. To this standard fitting (similar in design to a typical hydraulic hose fitting) you can screw the banjo of your choice, providing the necessary offset or bend etc.

For the sake of clarification, are you saying that the system I describe above is no longer legal?

Race Brakes in Kingsland can make crimped lines of any length for cars. They are authorized Goodridge distributors and claim that the lines are all kosher for WOF. They should know as that is their business.

I do not know if they can make them for bikes however, but I wouldn't have thought there would be a lot of difference. Their lines look surprisingly fine and about the same size as bike lines.

PS. they have bloody good shit (rotors, calipers, pads and fluid) for the cage at bloody good prices.

Yep, quite a number of places in NZ making certified crimped braided lines.

Right as i posted these lines have crimped ends !!!!!!!!!!!!! then you put your bango onto them . All Legal OK .

Any bike shop that deals with W White Wholesale can get you braided lines that are fully stamped and legal and just screw together. They don't have the banjo's crimped to the hose. I used them for about 4 bikes in the last 3 months. 100% legal.

If you want braided lines go and see Eugene at Trade Parts on Wairau Rd in Glenfield, Auckland. If you like you can send or take your old ones in and he will make exact copies in stainless, they are clear plastic coated and "SAE" marked so it makes them legal, last time I had a set made for the Z1300 it cost me $150 for a set of four hoses

The number is 09 444 0901
