I use HEL braided lines in two lines configuration. (do not think the brand makes any difference). You need the double length banjo bolt for master cylinder and single ones for the calipers. Mine came together with the lines.
Routing is fairly simple - straight down past the bottom tripple clamp and then separate to LH/RS sides. Use the OEM hose clamps for the RH side. For the LH side I just bought the OEM clamp (that is installed to the front fender behind the shock tube) and mirrored its installation on the fender on the LH side - hole for the screw and a slot for the anti-rotation tab. (a bit of work with a needle file). To make it all neat you might need to block that hole from the clamp above the mudgard with a rubbet insert. I just used a screw with a washer.
When attaching to the calipers make sure that there is enogh clearance for unbolting the calipers when you will need to take the front wheel out. Saves the problem later.
Because of the two hoses coming out of master cylinder the bleeding will be a bit fiddly and time consuming. It helps to unbolt the master cylinder for a this (untill you get the air out from it) to get it working in a better angle - air goes up.
When done, make sure the hoses won't rub against bodywork or a frame through the full travel of suspension. A small separator clamp from Probolt could be usefull. Cheers.
