I ordered steel brake lines for my CBR650R back in April, and only now did I have the energy to look into it. After calling The Moto Connection and not getting anyone, I called HEL Performance directly. They said that their business with The Moto Connection was terminated shortly after I'd placed my order, and said that I'd have to either go through The Moto Connection or #PayPal to resolve it. Thankfully, they did sell me the same part directly for the amount I'd originally paid, even though the part is more expensive now. :)

I filed a dispute with PayPal, but they denied it because it had been too long since the transaction. Then I called The Moto Connection and left a message about wanting to cancel my order. I'll keep calling throughout the week, but if they don't get back to me by Friday, I think my only recourse is a chargeback through my credit card. :(

(The stock brake lines on my CBR feel worse than the TRP Hylex hydraulic disc brakes on my Crust Romanceur bicycle. :/ )

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the shop there.

You will love the feel of the new brake-line when you get it installed. Those rubber lines are really spongey.

Finally got a hold of The Moto Connection this morning and they quickly refunded my original order. 👍
