I used Vehnil for my brake hose. It may not be the cheapest - but the quality is exceptional. You just need to know the length you want, the color, and the fittings you want in each end.

I am somewhat reasonably sure our brake line bolts are 10x1.0.....somebody correct me if they know better.

Preachermike, you might be best off taking the hose in anyway: If you're having a braided steel one made, it helps to have any banjos oriented in just the right way so the hose fits on nicely. Braided hoses can be really difficult to fit if you need a half or even quarter twist to line up banjos. That was one of the issues I had with my Ducati set last time.

+ 1 what jog said. Change the fluid for sure,but see if the hose moves when you apply the brake. If it does,it's time for a new hose. I' ve just swapped all the rubber hoses on my other bike for braided and the difference in feel is amazing. Before,the lever would go back to the grip ,now it's nice and firm and stops better.

can you link me to the hoses you got ?

Sure. Here you go. I got mine from this guy.
http://stores.ebay.com.au/wezmoto-eu?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
Took a punt on the ebay thing and it all worked out well and the brake feel is amazing after the 30 year old rubber garbage I took off.
If you meant link to my exact hoses, then no, because they didn't fit. They were supposed to fit a TL but no chance. I sent measurements and orientations and he got it spot on the second time. all good.
