i got my goodrich brake lines yesterday after waiting about two weeks for them today i trial fitted them like instructions say and when i remove everything off the bike including original brake lines and mount the new lines the one on the right side of bike is to short (it reaches but with no slack whatsoever first wheelie and seeya brakes) i then call goodrich to tell them about my problem and they are somewhat helpful until the tech concludes that the line is indeed defective. well i tell him that i would like a new line overnighted to me and he sais (oh we cant do that, company policy whatever) he tells me put your old lines back on for meantime. #### i dont know about you guys but trying to bleed those things once youve removed them is like trying to give birth. i will definately not buy anything from that company again there service sucks. oh well i feel better now that i vented. just a headsup for everyone. dont buy from them.

Wrong parts always stink.
Especially mail order ones.
You might want to pick up one of those vacuum bleeding tools. I got one from Sears ( yes, a Craftsman, warranty for life, and a local store too!) for about $50. Not exactly cheap, but it does make the job a snap to do alone!
I got Galfer lines from CalSportbike. Service was excellent. Yes, I know, a little late for you now
Good luck, you'll like the results when you get it sorted out.

Defective my ass! I bought a set of Goodrich two years ago for my busa and same sh!t. Picked it up with the forks extended and the right side line was popcorn tight. I took them off and returned them to my Suzuki Dealer for a refund. So that particular defect has been in effect for at least two years. I buy all my mods through my dealer. If I have a problem, I just take it back to him and let him deal with it!
one is longer than the other in most kits...
did you take that in to account ?
