HEL brake line on an S40
11/05/17 at 09:35:06

Hey folks,

Planning a brake line upgrade to braided steel (almost certainly from HEL) - but they only list a kit for the Savage (up to '98), not the S40 (which I have, from 2012). Is there any meaningful difference between the two models which means the Savage kit wouldn't work on an S40?

Is there anything else to bear in mind (fittings not 'fitting', etc)?

2012 (orange) • Dyna muffler/Oldfeller air filter • 152.5/52.5, ~2/3 spacer removed • Raptor petcock; Progressive 12" shocks.

Someone here must have changed bars and can tell you if the early brake line for the ''buckhorn'' bars will work with the current ''drag'' bars. I would think the early one would be slightly longer.

Re: HEL brake line on an S40 Reply #2 - 11/05/17 at 10:26:41 Calipers and master cylinders are the same, so length is the only issue. Contact HEL and see if they have the shorter one. Might be smart to find out how long each brake line is from Suzuki first.

It is incredibly well built - you choose the length, color and end fittings. http://www.venhillusa.com/

I like the idea of pre-built things. I assume I'd need single-length bolts, but should they be 10mm x 1.00 or 10mm by 1.25 to fit correctly? (If it even matters? My knowledge of brake lines is limited to fluid physics, not parts engineering!)

I bought the black, and the coating on the brake line looks nice and durable, and it doesn't scratch things that it bumps up against. http://www.venhillusa.com/make-your-own-custom-brake-line-1.html
