Default Best front braided brake lines ?

I have a HEL rear line already so just looking for the two front before getting them all fitted..... is HEL about the best, i have come across a company call Galfer ??? Oh, and would i notice a difference having the original (now 10 year old) rubber Honda ones ? I will obviously replace the brake fluid at the same time.

you'll notice the difference if you're running really fast and hard on the brakes a lot. they look cooler as well. but you'll never be able to tell the difference between the two brands. i've used galfer, HEL, and i've also made my own. can't tell a difference

The best ones are the ones on your bike. The tech is mature, you'll be fine with whatever
brand you choose. Finding a good price and ensuring that the double-banjo bolt for the
master-cylinder/new crush-rings are supplied, are the criteria you will want to focus on.

Agreed... I put the galfers up front, and then had my buddy make me the rear one in exchange for me doing some gun work for him (his family owns part of a big hydraulic line company) and I can't tell a difference in the quality between the two other than the name on the outside of the casing.

Cheers for that, i think the brake fluid may need changing anyway, so its about time.
