Don't know if you guys have braided hoses on your bikes already , if not you may want to try them first as they transform the braking apparently . But don't bother doing the rear , as it becomes too sensitive .

Hey Davy .... where are you located ...?
might pay to whack some info in your member profile so when people go looking for parts for you , they know where would be the easiest for your shipping requirements ..
As far as your question now goes ....
I tend to agree with Hawk and other members that have tried new braided lines with great success.......
I am sorry, but I do not know of any no fuss swaps overs from other Honda's that will bolt straight on without some mods ..
IMO , I would be going for upgraded rotors and maybe better pads in combo with new lines on the front first perhaps ...
but then , WTF would I know mate ...LOL

After a good rebuild and swapping to EBC HH pads, HEL braided lines and DOT5.1 fluid I was happy with my brakes.
I tended to find that once the rear wheel was off the floor I didn't want any more stopping power
