Hi All,
Any ideas on where I can get a full set of new Braided lines from? (With all those cross connectors that are present on the bike as standard)
I gather your supposed to change these after a number of years and with all the rust appearing on the connectors figured it was time Can't be running out of stoppers when I need em..

Re: Brake Lines
It's the rubber hoses that need replacing after 5 years or so. I would hope that the braided ones that come as standard on Raptors will last much longer - unless that corrosion you mention gets really bad.
If you do replace then I would just get a pair of lines that each run from cylinder to caliper and avoid all the one into two mess. Supposed to be the most efficient setup anyway.

Re: Brake Lines
HEL do braided hoses for the 1000, so can't see why they wouldn't do them for the 650 too. Give them a ring and be sure to tell them the year of your bike, as they do from time to time send out the wrong bits.
The originals corroded pretty bad on Carnivores VRap, so they were replaced, taking out the connector piece in the middle, going straight from cylinder to caliper IIRC.

Your Rapter looks like a sci fi robot dragon! and it breaths fire too! It singed my eye brows and boiled my eyes at the lights! smudge
