JELY1990 · June 15th, 2013, 10:47 PM

I wish I had known about this a few months ago when I bought Spiegler for my front brake line! My brake line was like $60 if I remember correctly so you got front and back for cheaper...

FYI It took me about an hour and a half for complete install and I had never done brake work of any kind before. Just so you know how long it might take you since you said you need to wait until you have some time to do it.

Red250R · June 21st, 2013, 04:42 PM

Just put them on. Very clean looking. A couple downsides to these, the front was a little long. Not a huge deal but still. Also, like other have had to do with lines from other companies, one of the rings on the front needed to be turned like 1/4-1/2 turn. I did without doing it since its such a slight misalignment, but once again, not a huge deal. Lastly, if you do order these, get another pair of banjo bolts from the guy. He only sends you two and you really need 4 if you want to have 4 silver bolts instead of 2 black oem ones and 2 silvers that came with them. Obviously @Dano you did lol i can tell in your picture. I didn't even think too.

Also, side note. Be VERY careful with your front master cylinder screws lol my one was already a little stripped beforehand and when i tried taking it out i screwed them up to the point of no return. No biggie tho. Tried several different methods until i said the hell with it and took out the dremel and notched deep for a flathead. And deep as in, into the cover lol so i'll be ordering a couple new pieces. Perhaps from Bikers in Thailand lol gives me an excuse to order them now.

In the end, I'd definitely buy these from this guy again. Very good seller, great communication, very fast delivery, and they're damn near top notch quality other than what i've mentioned.

post some pics! for this price im highly considering it. it'd be my first real "performance" mod.

Red250R · June 22nd, 2013, 10:49 AM

In that 5th picture, the rusted truck in the background, just for the record is not mine lol or anyone in my family

Red250R · June 22nd, 2013, 10:52 AM

Also, the fronts are a bitch to bleed without a bleeding tool. I just bought one a few weeks ago because it was on sale at Sears. Mityvac. It worked wonders lol

Why, if he's working out of his house why would he want people just swinging by his house to pick stuff up?

even more reason if hes setup so small like that he can setup a meeting place and save the trouble of shipping and ebay fees and even paypal, I setup craigslist transaction at least every other week if its not for me its for a friend and always meet in a public place I dont see how this can be any different.

Everybody is different but if I was selling stuff out of my house on a regular basis I wouldn't want to do ftf, just mail order. Setting up FTF out of the house can be a pain in the ass when you have to do it on a regular basis, for not much profit, easier to have your routine set up and just stick to it.

It's different if you are selling very small quantities, like, you are selling a single exhaust system or something.

Asspire · June 23rd, 2013, 04:28 PM

maybe the company got two distributors? The one in toronto is an actual auto parts store which is a 5 min ride from me. gonna pick mine up after 4 oclock tomorrow.

no i believe the colors are more expensive because after shipping mine was $63 i think. I deleted the paypal receipt but it was around that. Even so, he's still the cheapest around.

muhahahahahah $56.44 (taxes inc.), I win. But seriously, can't go wrong with the price.

Dano · June 24th, 2013, 07:40 AM

I should email him and get a finders fee for all the business I sent him!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL it is a great price either way.

Well i did give him the direct link to this thread and tried to convince him to make an account, would definitely increase business im sure lol. Might see him in this very thread sometime :O.

My order was also shipped same day and had 0 problems. There was one issue but that was my fault, called him up with the number provided in the OP to tell him the situation and it was fixed in all of 5seconds.

also, 62.90 for me is teh total.

Asspire · June 24th, 2013, 03:06 PM

Just picked mine up, came with the right amount of banjo bolts and stuff. Getting my brother to order a set for his 2011 ZX6, he doesn't have the specs, so I drove his bike out there and he took measurements for them one time, said it should be around $90 or so. Awesome guy, will be getting more from him when I need them.
