    I'm going to replace the original front brake line on my 2005 Honda cb250 with a braided line and it seems Goodridge are the only company that makes a line for my bike.
    I've looked at a couple of other companies and I like the look of the Venhill lines- they have a swivel near the banjo bolt so there is no issue with alignment.
    I contacted them and they will make a custom line for the same price as their standard lines.
    Just wondering if anyone else had used Venhill lines and whether you were happy with them?
    Thanks

    Venhill have been around a long time (I bought their cables in the '70s) so I cannot see them making shoddy products.
    Places like Pirtek Hydrulics make ADR approved brake lines (there are 11 branches in Sydney) as an alternative supplier.

    Well said Murdo, if its goig on a road bike, they will need to be ADR approved or you will get a defect notice
