Does anyone know the standard length of the front brake hose? A full length set up (i can't remember if they're a 3 line split set up as standard, but I'm talking about twin straight through ones either way

They are a 3 line split but I and others have gone to a 2 line when we've replaced them. Sorry I can't remember the lengths but as I have different master cylinder and callipers, my dimensions wouldn't help much anyway .... and if I re-ordered I'd add an extra 4 or 5cm - the length of mine is OK but just about on the minimum limit.
Don't forget that we get a good forum discount from Hel for their braided lines.

I have a set in the garage, but I'm trying to figure out if they're stanadarx length ones, or extra length from when I raised the bars.

Cheers mate, looks like these are the long ones to go with the raised bar kit

no worries buddy, off the bike the lines look deceptively short.
My full set of 3 lines look like they fit a noddy car not an Italian stomper
