Shop at GalferUSA @jdavis - Are those prices in US$ John? I can only assume so and if they are then we are back at AU$485(today). Also is GST added to that? I'm going to end the pain for me (and everybody else who have endured this) and just bite the bullet and buy the local HEL kit. I can speak with the local guy, I know it's available, it's made to order and it will be here early next week at the latest. If things had of been different in the world and the currencies weren't bouncing all over the place and transport wasn't at risk or delayed then I would have probably looked at something else. As Ned Kelly once said..."Such is life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if you were already taking those off for cleaning but removing the throttle bodies is way too much work and absolutely not necessary to install the lines. Mate it was three clamps and a couple of plugs, an extra 10 minutes at most. Hardly way too much work. Mine was the full 7 line kit too. @dazzler24 The guy that runs Hel is a good guy, we used to deal with him when we had to buy lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, he seems like a decent sort. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more thinking about others reading this in preparation to change out their lines, I just didn't want the impression to be that those extra steps were in any way necessary to slide the new lines through. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggy Nate Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ah rightio. To be honest I would have rathered the metal lines were removed altogether. Would have sped the whole process up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With them out of the way, the new lines slid right in with no issue. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree and put it to Dean at HEL to have an option for a 5-line set and he said that he would need the bike or all of the lines to make a template. As they were so busy with a backlog anyway I chose not to persue it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm losing sleep over this saga!😎 @wordsmith - sorry for any confusion created by my last post but my earlier statement stands. i.e. I'm getting the seven-line kit made up. I meant that I was not pursuing the five-line option from HEL to be clear. Hopefully your insomnia induced by this saga will now be able to be put to bed (see what I did there) and you will be able to sleep soundly again. 🥱😴 4 hours ago, dazzler24 said: I'm going to end the pain for me (and everybody else who have endured this) and just bite the bullet and buy the local HEL kit.

Don't know if they've heard anything new or just taking matters into their own hands or...... just don't care?!?! The weather is superb of course but if I poked my nose out the driveway I'd be booked before I got to the first corner and have a juicy fine to contend with! sigh. It is what it is.
