OK, question on the rear.  looking at the fiche it appears there are two sections of hose separated by about a foot of a solid 1/4" tubing.

so when you buy the "brake kit"  what do you get?  the pic seems to be just one long hose, so is everything else simply ripped out? or what?

Yeah, I was quick on the draw and you read it before I deleted it.  Sorry.
The clutch was one piece also.   The front brake was kind of Micky Mouse.

Most of the braided SS line kits have the rear line and the clutch line as one long piece(you certainly don't want to use anything but SS for replacement). I've seen the Galfer on some bikes that used two lines coming off the front master cylinder. That looks tacky to me. You'd be better off using a single line off the front m/c down to a splitter mounted under the triple tree. Then use a single line from there down to the right side, and a single line across and down to the left side. Looks much better and easy to mount. Just put the splitter under the right side where the OEM hard line mounts.

don't have an issue with what i am seeing for the front.  the front appears to be three separate hoses like OEM but SS.

its the REAR.  OEM has tow hows separated by tubing, but replacement SS appears to be one hose, so mounting questions arise.......

thats why i am wondering if i am looking at hte correct stuff.

You do get one line, so you end up removing all the OEM stuff, I used the original clamps but had to put a piece of hose inside the clamp to take up the space the original line took.
