You should be fine with the HEL brake lines.

Just got my rear brake line after waiting a whole month with multiple misships.I had to have it overnight delivered just couldnt wait anymore.I went with Goodridge line and I also removed the rear reservoir and replaced it with a small one like used for a clutch.I also shortned the hose and reservoir sits about inch and half above side heel guard.Looks good cleaned up the rear a little.I will post pics.

Galfer and Goodridge. HEL are good as well and don't cost quite as much.

Most people aren't going to be able to tell a difference with their brake lines in normal street riding. You need to be decelerating from 150 mph to 60 mph in about 300 ft as your entering a hair pin turn on a track to really notice any difference.

Fren Tubo for me and kiggy74 is right, the first time you really appreciate them is when you run out of track into a hairpin!

Ok stock boy, you should know. For someone who needed to stop, but couldn't; you should have these on order already.[8D]
