I'm looking to improve the brakes on my VMAX, but I like the way the OEM lines are routed, does anyone know if the Gaffer 3 line set fit the stock routing? Or is there another option I'm not yet aware of? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to y'all!

I've got hel brake lines which run in the same route as standard
If you don't mind me asking where did you get them? Got a link?

it was over a year ago so do not have the actual link, I had them made to my measurements and angle as I fitted different calipers, I suspect many manufacturers would make what you want if you go to their websites
Sean sells the Galfers and the 3 line kit routes the same way
I had brake/clutch Galfers in front and rear of my 1st Gen. Perfect fit and everything needed is included. No issues at all. I used the 2 line setup.
I have 2 and 3 line kits. Neither has performance advantage over the other. The 3 line kit is more expensive but cleaner looking with single lines visible. The 2 line kit can be easier to bleed but dual lines at the master.
I put a new Spiegler brake hose on the rear brake this summer. Fit fine but they do not have the rubber grommets on the hose that snap into the frame pieces like the OEM hose did to hold the hose in place. Ended up zip tying it to that grommet holder on the swingarm to keep the hose in the correct position. One2dmax, does your front brake hose kits have these rubber grommets I am talking about?
They do not. You can either crimp the factory bracket in a little to fit it tighter, OR, remove and reuse the stock grommets from the old stock lines.
That is what i did. I got gaffer brake lines and clutch line, however I did not see a big improvement over stock but looked a lot better.
You changed your outdated brake/clutch lines with higher quality products and replaced the fluid. It also looks great. Job done.
