I've managed to almost wear through my rear brake hose presumably with my boot somehow so I guess now is the time to switch to braided versions.

Any particular brand noticeably better or worse than the others? Bike is a 2014 without ABS.

Also I guess the twin front lines would be better than the over the mud guard setup as ive read they bleed better/easier.
 
Venhill engineering do good brake hoses, goodridge or Hel as well + also fit speeder bleeder nipples if need be

Had hel on my 14 plate 09 none abs twin setup on the front worked well going to put them on mt 09sp
 
Thanks boys, just had a look on the Goodrich site and it seems they don't do the twin line front setup for the MT for some reason, I'll go check out Venhill and Hel.
 
A couple of photos of the worn hose:

Not entirely sure what my boot is doing over there!
 
I assume the Venhill and Hel 2 hose front kits must have a splitter somewhere as the OEM master cylinder only has one connection?
 
One hose from master cylinder down to the R/H brake caliper then a hose up over mudguard to the L/H caliper. Both Venhill and Hel offer a 2 hose front kit off the shelf for the MT09 so I assume it must split the hose somewhere.

So surely Hel and Venhill '2 hose kits' must be this?:

Can anyone with either of these two off the shelf kits confirm how they are set up?
 
Think I've got my answer, pretty sure they are setup like this:

Looks like they include a double length bolt for the master cylinder that allows you to fit both hoses to it.
 
Yeah I figured that out in the end, I've ordered the Hel "Race fitment" front and rear kit for £98
