ok, did you guys get the bike specific kits or did you go with the assemble yourself kits (straight hoses and you screw the ends on)?

If you plan on keeping a new bike for awhile
or You picked up an older bike or You're taking it to the track or You do a lot of commuting in traffic SS brake lines are a no brainer. Relatively cheap, easy to install. On the other hand, most bikes right out the box don't need em and brake just fine. |

The aprilia came stock with them and the SV has the stock rubber lines. Each serve a purpose.

rubber is only good for tires and condoms IMO. I dont want it on my brake lines. ESPECIALLY when the brake lines are 24 years old.

I think most of the sport bike 600/750/1000 have some steel portions in the lines. My 07 600rr stock brakes are awesome....even when hauling the bike down from 140mph. I think SS lines wouldn't make a difference.

You guys do realize that SS lines prevent fading more than initial bite, right?

But, responsiveness has to be improved. Everything has a modulus of deformation. Rubber is much higher than SS. Therefore, stainless will have less energy being loss to expansion meaning your initial bite should happen quicker. It might be a milli second, but it has to work that way. |
