Nice! Hope your cable comes with a rubber stopper in the middle like mine did. It fits perfectly through the pass through on the top of the fender.

S1 is also over the fender, unless someone had fitted S2 brakes on my bike. Junction box was near one of the front calipers.
Here's an 07 model:

Very, very different set up with the 06 model having a junction block near the lower triple.
There is none for the 07. The lines join on the left caliper..
. I just did two lines straight down from the MC.
At the time I installed my separate HEL lines, I don't believe they had the over the fender one line set up (like OEM).
I'd prefer the OEM layout if I had to do it again, I agree, it looks much neater. A little harder to bleed than two lines but
how often do you empty the entire hydraulic system?
Nice! Mini braided line cleanup done!
So no perceived difference between two lines from the MC compared to the over the fender setup?
Thanks for the pictures! Nice job.
I have a 2008 FZ6 with FZ1 handlebars. It looks like you have this mod too. I just bought HEL brake lines. Should have them at my mailbox next week. Your last picture shows the line passing around the fairing support. I am wondering what happen when you turn the handlebar all the way to the right. Does it pinch/stress/press the line? I was planning to install mine making a tight curve to the right and use a zip tie to hold it against the right hand side of the fork -- the same way I have it now with the stock line, and the way it was with the original FZ6 stock handlebar. Please let us know the reasons for choosing setting the brake line as in the last pic.
Cheers.
Got it!
Actually, I should mention that before I ordering my HEL lines, I looked at all posts in this thread, and your experience with 2 separate lines, to decide having my lines over the fender as in your final setting.
Because I do not have risers, my handle bars are lower and I suspect I might be able to run the long MC-to-caliper line in the same way as yours.
I am curious about the details on "your own guide attached to the lower triple" . It would be great to have see some pictures on how you did it. I am wondering if keeping the horn would be an issue.
