Go to bike bandit.com and you can look up the part number and even order the line from them, good place to start some one else might come along with a better idea
If your hose is not listed on their website , email them with the length you want and fittings . Alternatively send them the original line and they will make one up by return post . They make them in house to order . A rear line cost me £38 . They are just down the road from me so if you get no joy let me know and I will stop in and see them !

They are out of stock at Hermys and 2wheelpros. A guy suggested that I simply remove the damaged hose and take it to a bike parts store in Moscow, where they measure it and find some other hose available in stock which fits. Does this sound like a reasonable approach? No rocket science, is it? Are they all the same, these hoses?

To be honest , yes technically they are ! The local bike shops here often have braided hose on a reel , and a choice of unions and bends plus olives and you can build your own hose to your own requirements ! The only difference is that diy hoses are connected to the unions via olives and nuts as opposed to being crimped , but still perfectly fit for purpose ! I know that BF Goodridge to name just one supply diy hose accessories to performance part specialists . I'm sure they supply on line too ! Just make sure if going this route that you order the correct length and angle of bends . Good luck and if all else fails my offer stands !

A couple of points I would like to make clear regarding my previous statement , firstly brake lines are basically the same but have differences with fittings . The triumph is metric . I would be surprised if you could find a similar pipe from another bike , as the rear brake pipe has a straight connector into the ABS pump as opposed to a banjo on each end , ie banjo on the caliper end and banjo on the rear master cylinder end ! Secondly , when it comes to refilling and bleeding the rear system , I have done it the traditional way myself with no ill effects but triumph recommend the use of a code reader to open the ABS valves ! Finally , I meant to say Goodridge hoses and not BF Goodridge , as they are tyres ! Sorry for causing any confusion .

Then why do Hel lines fit? Because they produce lines tailor made for Triumph? Does the set come with correct fittings?
Regarding other manufacturers, like Venhill, cannot I just take a hose of required length, and find two fittings one staraigh - into ABS and the other whatever it is on my bike (banjo?) and put them together?
Or did you mean to say that I will hardly find a ready-to-use line, but I can still make my own one?
Yes . Company's like Hel , goodridge and venhill make direct replacement lines using originals as patterns for each specific make and model of bike . They are a like for like upgrade and bolt straight on .
I meant that you are unlikely to be able to walk into a shop and buy a line from a different make or model that will match that particular line in length and fitment ! If you were to take your damaged line to a store that sold the diy components , you could match the hose length and fittings !
