I bought a full set of brake and clutch lines from All Bike Brakes. I sent them the e-mail below because the kit looks so incredibly amateurish. The pics are included, and his response.
"Thomas,
This kit is wrong.
I have flipped up the hoses at the calipers as you said, and taken new photo's for you.
The calipers originally had straight fittings. ABB have changed them to a fitting with a bend, which simply puts a bend in the hose. It fits worse than the originals.
The master cylinder originally had a slight bend in the fitting. You have changed this to 1 bent, 1 straight. It fits worse than the originals.
I need you to send me new hoses.

Their reply :
"Sir that is the kit we make for that bike. We have sold many of them in the past with no issues. The specifications match the kit you have sent me pictures of.

I am not at all happy that their version of correct fitting is simply "If the banjo bolt fits, it's useable." I think the bend in at the caliper end is just stupid!
They have no idea what they are doing, and their attitude sucks.
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!
