Bought and Installed on RC 2018. Excellent strength, the full kit that is provided is excellent value for money and much better than other providers. Sprocket especially is a great upgrade. Visually it looks great, I will aim to get some photos added to show final product.
Logged a few hundred miles since the upgrade. Here are my thoughts.
This brake system upgrade is the best value for money spent since I bought the bike. Dramatic improvements in overall stability, high-speed handling, and low-speed manoeuvring. The Hyoriders club may have saved my marriage.
This is my third attempt to write a product review for the stainless steel braided brake lines. Hopefully this time when I'm done I don't hit the wrong button.
I don't really do product reviews. Either the thing works as advertised or it is sent back.
I am taking the time to review the braided brake line kit because Hyoriders shop has been the best customer service experience in all of the thirty years I have been riding motorcycles.
I ride a 2008 Anniversary Edition GV650 efi. It was love at first sight and I paid cash-in-hand. Soon after it became apparent she had not been properly maintained by the two previous owners. I struggled for ages to find legit OEM fitment parts & upgrades. So much so that I've been ripped off by a couple of sites claiming to be licensed distributors.
Hyoriders to the rescue.
There are plenty of bad faith actors out there and my wife and I are really glad I found this site. There are loads of tweaks and mods that provide wee little improvements in performance. I do love my X-Ring chain conversion and everything else I've bought here.
However, this brake system upgrade is the best overall performance per pound. I now know that if I can only afford one performance upgrade on a bike that it will be stainless steel caliper pistons and steel braided brake lines.
It really isn't possible to explain just how much better planted it feels in the corners or the effortless low-speed city street and/or carpark handling. I could try to remember everything I said the first couple attempts to write this review, but I'll just leave you with a couple of observations.
Caution: Take the time to talk with your mechanic to clearly communicate how you want the brake lines routed. Ensure you have all the nylon P-clips or zip-ties, or whatever mounting hardware you prefer for your desired finished look. Confirm with the mechanic where the lines will be routed and how they will be attached. Five minutes, or less. That's all it takes to be certain it looks the way you want.
Also, Are you running OEM or after-market / reproduction calipers? If so then please ask about a stainless-steel caliper piston rebuild kit to go along with these awesome braided brake lines.
Sincere thanks to Marcel and the entire Hyorider team

Great item arrived well packaged and quickly loved the little notes that Marcel put on the items like the torque pressure thankyou so much hopefully it means I will be able to get my bike back on the road after failing it’s mot
MARCEL ROCKS!
Not only is this kit is a must have upgrade for your bike, but the support and advice i've got from Marcel is amazing!
You should now that this is my first motorcycle and I really love to make my hands dirty. I love my bike but the acceleration was a bit disappointing. I've read about a tooth more or less on the front or back sprocket, but i really didn't wanted to loose any top speed. It seemed to be one or the other (more acceleration more top speed). I talked to my dealer about this, but I didn't find any help there.
So I contacted Marcel. He sent me the kit and the delivery was very fast (I live in Belgium)
Then came the moment of truth: would I be able to do the upgrade myself? I succeeded with easy with some remote support from Marcel over messenger. His reaction time was very fast and I didn't loose time with the procedure if i had a question. Many thanks for that Marcel.
The day after the installation came the second moment of truth. Would this upgrade perform as advertised? In short: IT DID! The test ride with these sprockets / chain exceeded my expectations .
The acceleration in gears 1-4 is superb now. In second gear i can pull up to 50km/h - in 3th to 70 km/h without going in the red range! The bike pulls really fast now.
About the top speed, with original chain kit my top speed was 107km/h on a steep downhill. Now on a far less steep one i reached 119 on display and gps speed was 107 !!! Speed record easily broken.
