oem brake lines?

Post by RadicalR1150R »

My front brake lines look to be clear sheathed braided SS..(04 R1150R iABS) Are these oem?
or are stock oem lines rubber?

OEM lines are black rubber, you have aftermarket lines installed .

I have an 04 roadster... 2 spark and braided lines were some of the changes that came in with this model year.

Your description precisely matches the stock braided lines that came with mine.

FWIW, my '03 has the clear coated braided SS front lines as well. I'm not the original owner but wasn't aware that they were ever changed.

My 2004 R1150R came with the same lines. The previous owner made a lot of upgrades but this wasn't one of them. You can tell they're factory and not aftermarket a couple of way...

My 04 R1150R iABS has the clear sheathed SS lines. I'm 99% certain that they're OEM since the original owner only put 5000 miles on the bike and did almost nothing to it.
