This kit is designed and built by approved Hel Performance manufacturers, Lightenupgrade, using 100% stainless fittings and hose as supplied from Hel Performance. (except the SMC lock off adapter which is made independently for lightenupgrade)
it is designed to delete the linked brake system on the Honda VFR800 F.I. as these bikes are now aging, any brake system faults can cost more than the bike is worth to repair, so I have been asked to put this kit together as an option for owners.
The replacement hoses use race setup style, which is 2 hoses bolted to the mastercylinder (with the supplied double length banjo bolt) going straight down to the calipers, with a tee to utilise the extra caliper pistons and a single line from the rear mastercylinder to the rear caliper with a link line to connect the extra piston. the kit contains all necessary stainless banjo bolts (and copper washers) to fit the hoses.
The secondary mastercylinder on the left fork leg is disabled by removing the piston and replacing it with the supplied stainless steel lock off adapter, this allows the caliper mounting bracket to remain in a fixed position, instead of moving under braking, and doesn’t look any different to the untrained eye.
you may need to upgrade to a larger bore mastercylinder as you will get excessive lever travel by adding the extra pistons into the system (I’m told the VTR1000 mastercylinder is a good option) but this is down to personal feel
Please be aware that while it is not illegal (at least in the uk) to remove your linked brakes, it is your responsibility to inform your insurance company of the modification, and neither Hel performance or Lightenupgrade accept any responsibility or legal ramifications concerned with fitting the kit.
As all hoses are built to order it is possible to accommodate any customisation requests, for example, if you have bar risers fitted, extra length can be added at no extra cost, and a matching clutch hose can also be added to the kit. Please use the contact page to get in touch to discuss your requirements.
