6th Gen brake lines

Who makes them?
I've checked the Speigler and Galfer web sites and they don't list the 6th Gen vfr. I'd like to get the Speigler brake and clutch lines but don't know if their compatable with another model.

 

I sell the Galfer kit but it's really pricey since it's a lot of lines and takes experience to install and bleed with the linked braking system.

 

Yeah, their a little steep in price and I'm not sure I can get the same color combos as with Speigler.
Thanks for the reply

 

Doing a full rebuild on my VFR800 Vtec 2004 Non-ABS US spec (even though I live in UK, it was imported about 2009) changing the brake lines to a full (10 lines) of Goodridge hoses. Unfortunately the 60 photos that I took during the strip down should have been 100 photos and I didn't get photos of which brake lines go to which connector on the left side front caliper. I have got a copy of the genuine Honda workshop manual, the microfiche through Partzilla and the Haynes workshop manual, but none of them give the layout that I can see. Anybody out there got a photo or diagram?

 

What do you need for photographs? So long as I don't need to tear mine down, I can always run out and take a shot or two for you if that helps.

Just noticed yours is non ABS while mine has ABS so don't know how much difference that will make in what you are lookng for.

 

I think I took pics of my HEL lines laid out, I might be able to post those pics and indicate which lines go where. How soon do you need the info? I won't be able to get to it until much later this evening. That being said, I also have to confirm that I have the pics. I thought I took pictures of each line side by side with the stock line but then again this was a while ago and maybe I was thinking I should have!

 

Well I did a search on my computer and found that I did not do a one to one, what I had done is laid out all of the 6 Gen lines out so I could show their condition to someone who wanted them. I could possibly send that picture to you if you think it will help. Maybe identify the lines that I know for sure and you could deduce the rest?

 

I think I have got it worked out, it hasn't helped that the genuine Goodridge set of lines I have got, one of the lines is 15mm short:crushed: and another which has a ferrule in the middle should be a 45 degree bend not a straight thru.

Thanks guys.

 

Got all the lines in place, but not sure which of the lines on the left caliper (Non-ABS remember) inner face goes to which of the holes and then jumps to the outer face of the caliper with a cross over hose. Just need a photo of the lines going into the inside face of the left caliper. Looked all over the web for photo and can't find one.

 

See if this helps at all. I'd have to remove the wheel to get a better shot of the bolt side of the left caliper.

Thanks for the photos. The left caliper is the one I am interested in, but the inner face of it. I am assuming that pipe 3 (see attached image) is the extension to pipe 2, not pipe 1 is that correct? Then I know which hole each banjo is joined to.

 

I'll see if I can grab a photo without removing the wheel but I believe that is the case.

 

Well without removing the wheel not very much access to the inside view of the left caliper, but here is what I was able to capture. So relative to your numbers, this is the #2 & #3 lines. Cheers!

 

I'm not sure if this helps but the following thread has a post by Galfer with a PDF for the gen 5, that I used to look thru during my steel line install on my 07.

Hi Thanks for the link, but Gen 5 and Gen 6 are different, but I have managed to figure things out now from looking at front brake setups that are for sale on ebay where I can see which line goes to which banjo on the caliper.
