Brake lines.

Twin brake line set up for the front brake callipers. Venhill make them so as you tighten the hoses they don't twist.
 

I had a bespoke clutch hose made, to reach from the, Triumph, high bars. This evens up the colour distribution between the brakes, front (left and right) and the choke/ throttle running down the right side of the bike.









 After running the lines through between the headstock and bottom yoke I decided to run the lines on the outside of the forks. (Pictures of the change to follow)















I bought some carbon exhausts from eBay UK and mocked them up on the bike. I will look to shorten them by 30cm, roughly 1/3 off the length, and tuck them within the rear pods so they exit at about the same height as the rear light. I have visited Dave over at http://www.anchor-motorcycles.co.uk/index.php who is the man from DASH Exhausts, and will see if he can make my link pipes without killing the power, although this is mainly about the look.

eBay Germany, although Switzerland was where it came from, was the source for the Rizoma open clutch cover which allows me to sit and watch the clutch spinning, and also lets the rattle out.

I talked to a lovely lady over at http://www.venhill.co.uk/ , for new clutch and racing front brake lines, plus extended choke and throttle cables, all in red.
