Question HEL Braided brake lines/hoses

Hi All TEN owners

I am looking at fitting HEL Braided brake lines/hoses to my 2010 TEN. I did a mountain pass a few weeks ago and cooked the rear brake on the down two up. It seems the brake fluid made an escape where the factory brake line/hose attaches on the rear master cylinder.

Before I start taking the whole lot apart and start fixing it, I am checking to see how viable braided lines/hoses are.

Has anyone fitted HEL Braided lines/hoses to there TEN (non ABS) and was it a pain to bleed the brakes. I was informed by the supplier that it is very tricky and should only be attempted by a technician.

I have worked on bikes and cars all my life so I don't have ten thumbs...

AND...is it worth it to upgrade to braided brake lines/hoses at all on the TEN.

Thanks for any feedback.
