Haha hope I didn't offend then...just that the thread title was for more torque and you mentioned braided lines...

Anyway some new pads will do ya a world of difference as well. Some people also like to pop in a better MC.

Here's a good link to figure out what kinda gearing change you'd like Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Speed, RPM, Chain & Sprockets Calculator

It's gonna make a bigger difference in bikes with lines that have deteriorated some. It may be more important for you to have a consistent feel especially at the track when the brakes are constantly being used..if you've noticed your braking becoming spongier through the session, this may be something to consider.

For most people a fresh set of good pads and fresh synthetic DOT4 will be more than you'll ever need, but on the track, it's gonna be a personal preference thing. You could go all out of course and get a used radial MC (or Brembo), SS lines, Race pads, wavy rotors, adjustable levers and I'm not sure if there is any monoblock type of upgrade for the calipers.
