Description
Brakes are one of the most important components on your bike, and worth making the right choices. You can’t go wrong with Fren Tubo. All Fren Tubo Lines are TUV/DOT Certified, and made to fit your bike correctly. It may seem like there’s alot of information in this listing, but it’s not something to be taken lightly. Knowing the facts about brake lines lets you make the best choices for your safety and hard earned money. We’ve got more info in our Sermons section for you to read if you like.
Fren Tubo lines are available in 4 specific types/material choices, and a variety of options. We’ll explain them here and we’re happy to answer any questions you might have. Fren Tubo uses only the highest quality components and never skimps on performance or safety. All kits includes front and rear lines, new banjos, seals, protectors and mounts when needed, and everything you need for a correct installation except brake fluid. Note: for steel banjo bolts, torque to 20Nm. for aluminum, torque to 15Nm
FZ-10 owners please note:
There are some kits out there being sold for the FZ-10 that replace the hard line running inside the right side of the frame with a flexible brake line. This IS NOT the best way to improve your brakes. There is nothing better for transmitting brake fluid pressure than that hard line, and it also provides cooling as air flows over it. Replacing it with a flex hose that then gets subjected to the heat of the engine and can’t cool as well is bad for your brake fluid and the lines. If you’re going to upgrade your brake lines, please do it with the correct setup.
