Re: Wezmoto Braided lines
Looks like you are out of luck holdenman!
I went here:
http://stores.ebay.com.au/wezmoto-eu/_i.html?rt=nc&_sid=990807646&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=2
but only found reference to lines for Bandit 1200 (and NOT ABS brakes either.)
Are you wanting better feel or better performance? Perhaps different brake compound would help - on the other hand, if it is a matter of appearance then others may have suggestions.
I would be reluctant to do any work on my brakes, only because I believe they are quite hard to bleed properly. I will trust them to the bike shop when the fluid is due for replacement .. err that's every 24 months of normal use isn't it? (Too lazy to go and get manual!)
If you do anything - make sure you document it here. I am a great one for leaving everything in 'original' condition, but I would possibly act if there was a reasonably priced approach that made the brakes a bit more linear in their response - I find them a little too abrupt at urban speeds i.e. my wife's helmut often bangs mine when she is riding pillion and we are in a stream of traffic in stop-go conditions.
Sorry not to have any experience with wezmoto.

Re: Wezmoto Braided lines
The brake hoses are still the original 07 Model and the front brakes are starting to get mushy. i have bleed them and did improve things a little.
I have rode my mates bike and rode it before and after braided lines and really liked the feel
My partners new ninja 650r brakes are fantastic in there feel and response.
You are on the right site but you have to look for gsf1250 . It says they are ADR approved so i think i will give them a go

Don't see why not, they are a pain in the arse to bleed, but hey you get that. Main issue seems to be the 'U' shaped cross link, I had to remove each of the calipers, stick a spanner between the pads, elevate, then bleed.

Why not (if you are changing them ) run 2 lines and get rid of that
cross over line .

The kit comes with 2 lines that run down from the master cylinder to each caliper

Also known as the 'Racing' set up, I'd have no problems giving this a go.

Re: Wezmoto Braided lines
I have ordered a set of these lines for my 05 1200 and as soon as the postman gets them here i will let you know how they go
In the past to get the brakes to bleed up when fitting new lines i have gone and got a big syringe filled it with brake fluid fitted it to the caliper bleed nipple with a piece of tube and forced the fluid in from the bottom
And them just bled them as normal seems to work OK with little to no hassle to get rid of air bubbles and pressure back to normal
It might not be the best way but it works
I have been told also that a syringe can make a poor mans vacuum and pull the fluid through (like a mityvac )
You can get sealed syringes from vet supply places or even the mower shop for measuring oil

Re: Wezmoto Braided lines
Well my brake lines from wezmoto arrived this morning all good and well packaged with an "idiot's" guide to bleeding the system once fitted
very well made all swaged fittings and an exact fit when overlaying them with the factory ones
I got black sleeves over the lines and stainless silver banjo's
I will put up photo's of the fitting over the weekend
The quality looks just as good as "HEL" or goodridge kits with all new stainless banjo bolts and copper washers in the bag
all landed to my door for $95 for all three lines ( 2 front and 1 rear )

I'm liking the sound of this. Coupled with some front suspension work they are on my list eventially.
