Anyone of you had any experience with them? How do you rate them?
I looked on a few FZR forums and not really seen any mention good or bad ..
I had a little look on Fazer forum for my other bike and the only negative comment was 'cheap Chinese crap' .... other than that the general consensus is relatively positive.

Also any brake lines you buy from Goodridge are guaranteed for life so if you have any problems at all in the future Goodridge will replace them.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Yes blue spots fit straight on. Don't get any from the thunderace bikes because they have a link pipe and can be pain to bleed.
If you go into the main site. Look under workshop and there's a how to do it for you to have a look at.

Back in the very early '80s, when I wanted braided lines, Goodridge were the only people that could supply me. Others have come & gone but Goodridge are still around, which says something about their product
