I'm just fitting some of these, I like the Hel lines anyway. all stainless fittings as standard. They are twin lines with a double length banjo bolt(supplied) rather than a single line from the master to a tee. It's a cheaper way to do it. You could also try OHAMotorsport in Down NI.. Very nice outfit, also Hel lines. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162961443503 .. look at their shop.

Hoses are now fitted, I asked for them to be shorter than stock with 90 degree bends at the bottom, however after much faffing, I've put them on 'upside down' so the 90 degree bends are at the top and 45 degree bends at the bottom. The right way round meant that they hit the mud guard and tbh, it looks better from the master cylinder that way. They were a pain to bleed though as the hoses run horizontal from the master cylinder. Pics to follow when it isn't raining. So that's the suspension done, brakes done, it has loads of carbon fibre bits, full termis plus dynojet and so on so it's done then ! Finally completed and it needs nothing else ! Err, no the tank continues to swell so I need to sort that properly but the only problem is that 'properly' probably means a metal tank...

I'm glad OHAMotorsport looked after you. I really like dealing with them.
Not sure if you realised that with the Hel lines, you can rotate the banjos relative to the ends of the lines by gripping them firmly in two pairs of good pliers and gently but firmly twisting them round. It's very handy to be able to take the twist out of the lines and line the banjos up perfectly. I've bought Titanium from Titan Classics; very good quality. I'm colluding with the owner to get the correct stainless or Ti R-clips made for the pad pins. Having only been able to find the correct size in BZP. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-Mo...72.m2749.l2649 I also get on well with RSR Moto who stock some nice Ti bolts, again very good quality and good to deal with. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M10-Titan...72.m2749.l2649

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R-CLIPS-B...kAAOSwDdRdng1z I recently changed my pad pins to titanium ones, I think from the same place but I found the r clips on the old pins were already stainless, not sure if they were standard Brembo they looked ok and not damaged so I re-used them.

I suspect the original R-clips are stainless but mine were slightly magnetic. Not a definitive test for stainless, I know and it is a very strong magnet too.
Tell the truth I dropped one of the clips on the workshop floor and the naughty faeries scuttled off with it! That was the cue to get the Ti pins thinking they would come with new R-clips, but alas not! I also bought some of the smallest size clips from the source you linked to, but even the smallest is too big for the Goldline pins and yet bizarrely too loose. I got 1mm x 17mm in the end and they fit properly but I could only find bzp.

The thought in the regs is that the supplier would add the VAT levy then using their newly set up account with IRS pay through that but I don't think many companies will do that unless they have a really substantial UK market as it involves lots of paperwork, submission of trading accounts financial details and other information. If it was a whole bike then it's even more vague as you seem to have to pay extra on items that aren't standard and the valuation of these is made pretty arbitrarily. F*****g 'free trade' mess
