I have replaced my standard cast calipers on the Desmosedici for the HPK billet Brembos with dry break connectors to resemble the Stoner Motogp bike of 2008 ![Desmo rear caliper brake line docgbf.jpg](https://forum.docgb.org/uploads/default/original/1X/dc66ca2757823f26747104be57c3711221c0a948.jpg) ![calipers brake lines 2 docgbf.jpg](https://forum.docgb.org/uploads/default/original/1X/60b4ea6f251ad21876845cb344d45587e4574032.jpg) ![Desmo calipers brake lines 1 docgbf.jpg](https://forum.docgb.org/uploads/default/original/1X/f46dfadffdf6f5255c9da0326d3f7c8d725a2dd6.jpg)

Yes Kevin they are, infact when positioning them around the fork leg etc I had to disconnect to adjust the swivel joints but it felt really weird breaking into the line, I fitted them mainly for the authentic Motogp look of 2008

Yes they are kevin, when fitting to get the lines in correct position after bleeding I disconnected one and it felt strange to say the least, amazing bit of kit, although I fitted really for the authentic Motogp look
