Product Details

Welcome to braking excellence with HEL Performance Braided Brake Lines for the 2003 - 2007 Buell XB12S (2-Hose Kit) . Safety on the road and track begins with the ability to manage braking power consistently and precisely. HEL Performance braided brake lines eliminate the "spongy" feel typical of original rubber lines, offering immediate response and superior modulation in all riding conditions, from emergency stops to hard braking.

Each HEL Performance kit is assembled with the finest materials available on the market. Unlike cheaper products, HEL uses exclusively stainless steel components for both the outer braid and the fittings, completely eliminating the risk of corrosion and ensuring the braking system maintains its performance throughout the life of the motorcycle. This is a crucial investment for those looking to improve the active safety of their vehicle.

Advantages of HEL Performance Braided Hoses

Replacing old rubber hoses with a HEL Performance steel braided system brings immediate and tangible benefits:

  • Eliminates Brake Fade: The steel braid prevents the hose from expanding under pressure and heat, ensuring a consistently solid and responsive lever.
  • Precision and Feedback: Improved communication between the brake pump and the calipers allows the rider to feel exactly the force exerted on the pads.
  • Unlimited Life: Thanks to the stainless steel fittings, HEL hoses do not suffer from aging or degradation caused by time and the chemicals of the brake fluid.
  • Certified Safety: Each hose is individually tested to a pressure of 1500 psi and complies with the strictest international regulations (DOT, TUV, ADR).

OEM Build Quality and Fitment

HEL Performance's philosophy is to provide a "custom" product that respects the integrity of the vehicle. This kit is designed to directly replace the original components without the need for complex adaptations or permanent modifications. The "permanent crimping" technique (swaged fittings) ensures a watertight seal and strength that far surpasses the reusable or screw-in systems common in other aftermarket products.

Furthermore, attention to detail is reflected in the choice of components: every banjo bolt and copper washer required for installation is included in the package (where applicable), allowing for a professional and safe installation. The external PVC protection, available in various colors, is not only aesthetically pleasing but also protects the steel braid and the motorcycle's fairings from rubbing and abrasion.
