That's what I did -- made use of the notch in my SBK fender.  Spiegler?

Venhill.  About 1/3rd the price, I order them from UK.  Same basic features as Shpiegler.

THat's an interesting hypo.  Because if they are, then they are 100% contraband.  Bush 41 banned PLA-owned industry imports.  And I don't think they have the same setup we do, i.e. private companies contracting with the Mao Maos.
Maybe the people that run the biz are ex military factory workers and that's what they know...

Give me a little bit.  I don't get free time to work on the bikes as much.  The delay will be getting the custom hoses.  I am putting 4-pad SBK calipers on my S2R.  Nothing off the shelf that I know of....  Unless someone knows.  Planning to use the SBK style with one hose off the master.
If you have clip-ons you can use an SBK line...otherwise it would be a custom deal.

well shit, nathaniel, i think you just saved me $75.  I have motowheels clipons and the original hoses that came with those calipers.  they dropped the grip by about 2-3 inches for me, the stock handlebars KILLED my back.

It should work.

I have CC clips with the stock calipers and a 748/916 style line works just fine.

Wow.  Looks like a great deal...like the pattern.  I have the Galfers and am happy with them so far, but.....

Hope they work out for you!

How did you route the hose?  I mounted the new caliper with the 748 long hose and ran it the same route as the original h-style.  It came out about 2-3" too long at the banjo.

I have to order pads anyhow, so no rush.. :-/  I'll just get one hose to match this one that is shorter, pref one with clockable banjos.

Does the shorter line go under or over the long feed line?

I just put it on.

It is just a bit long, but I didn't think much of it. It doesn't hit anything.

The fender I'm running has no clip as it's an old style SS. I guess if it did have the clip it would be tough to use it.

mine is crazy long.  the only retention is the yoke-mounted clip, no clip on the mudguard.  i think that's the best way to route the hose, but any other way would just make it worse -- i have to remeasure but it's definitely about 3" too long, i couldn't get it to fit without putting a huge bend in the line.

One thing I did  was to play with the rubber grommet from the old line. I have it so the grommet helps hold it so half the extra length is above the yoke and half below.

I bought the line on the flea for cheap and was more concerned with the stainless line for the pluses rather than the minus of a bit too much length. I guess I called it close enough.

I'm using a 999 line, and it's not long enough to run it the stock route.   :-\

That's a negative right now.  Tired of messing with the brakes for a while, and "IF" I do, it'll be custom lines.

FYI: You can get used 999 lines for fairly cheap on ducati.ms.

I'll try to measure it up anyway when I find some non-lazy time.

have you gotten a chance to put them on yet? I'd be interested to find out more. I need to get new rotors and these might just do the trick!

yep, i put them on, but i'm redoing my front end so everything is off now. 

had no problem with fitment or anything.  i put about 500 miles on a new set of pads and i have nothing bad to say about them.  when i put the new front end on i'll also be putting proper length hoses as well, then we'll see how they go. 

but frankly, i can't see the difference in performance from the stock brembos.
