DIY brake lines…

I thought of modifying stock brake lines by using B.H. fittings… does anybody have some experience with it?

It is fabricated from the same supplier who makes all the oem Brembo lines…

Allegri makes most if not all of the brake fittings and lines for Ducati OEM
and also supplies galfer with fittings but not the lines
We spoke to them at EICMA will be offering custom kits from them soon.
TUV and DOT approved lines and fittings

and we just got the Stainless hose and Alumininum kit and the black anodized fitting and carbon lines custom kits from Fren Tubo. These are only TUV Approved

Also we have sourced Rotors and have started work on Billet 4p Calipers that will work on Stock Spoke wheels and rotors

have you considered zinc-nickel plating ?
Apparently you can just throw the entire hose in the tank. Colour also available and significantly better corrosion protection than the standard finish. I have had problems with TÜV because hoses supplied outside of DE do not have the appropriate tag and can be failed depending on how much of a nitpicker your SachUnverständiger is !

You did not understand… i wanna use their fittings to shorten and reroute the oem brake lines…

The pic with the golden fittings is only exemplary… i'd take the nickel ones…

The nickle plated ones are available through Fren tubo. It is basically the chrome version to many. Same as the spokes on the Alpina wheels.
The Gold ones pictured is nice too

The system is called B.H. and comes from Allegri… the oem supplier of Brembo, Ducati and many other manufacturers

Got a pair of fittings from the wholesale… 60° nickel plated

I hope they'll fit to the brake line…
