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

Bought these along with the o rings when I had the carb's off, you probably wouldn't be bothered changing from the stock one's after all there only clamp's .... wrong.
These are much higher quality and you can tighten them up very easily and know you have a good seal between manifold and carb also much easier to position away from the throttle linkage.
Just upgraded to the uprated coils, the uprated regulator, the uprated stator and ngk caps with iridium spark plugs. I have to say it made an amazing difference, the bike almost no longer needs choke (less than a minute and only on first start in the morning), acceleration has improved significantly and my bike is now charging (which was my original problem :p). Very happy with all items 🙂
Bike is a 2003 gv250 carby model
I have to agree to pretty much all Moustache Man has to say. Not had the chance to hit the motorway yet but was running up hill at 55 in fourth. Previously would have been struggling to sit on 50 uphill, I am bigger than average so it is to the bikes credit that it manages this :p.
Get these Laser Iridium Spark Plugs everyone, in Combination with the NGK HT Leads, it makes a difference, she runs a lot smoother, better Throttle control and idle
