Was on Busters website trying to purchase a brake line but i was just hoping someone can give me a quick pointer as to which one i actually need/would want out of these:

1 front line with alloy fittings.

1 front line with cad fittings.

1 front line with chrome fittings.

1 front line with stainless steel fittings.


It's for a CB500.

Stainless last longer without discolouration,


I have stainless Hoses off a Bandit 1200, bought off ebay for £35 Front&Rear (3 Lines)



Cad (NickleCadmium) discolour easily..

Chrome, Nah, defo not, unless you have a Massey Fergusson..

Alloy, will discolour too, (oxidisation)

stainless all the way mate, I have used both stainless and anodised alloy in various colours and would say stainless retains its looks longest and are also usually the cheapest.

Nickelcadmium is the cheapest... but discolours at the sight of rain.. (looks rusty..)

Technicaly all the same. Cosmetic difference only. I bought nickel cadmium. 2 weeks later I got a second invoice. I rang to ask what was going on. The dealer told me that NiCads are rechargeable.8-)
