SS Braided Lines
For those of you with these what do you think? A racer once told me it's the only thing he would do to a street bike. I have also read they are too touchy at low speeds. Is there much difference between SS and Kevlar?

RE: SS Braided Lines
they'll run you like 80 bucks unless you find them on sale...
galfer and goodridge are pretty much the same. you won't notice any performance difference.
as far as the kevalr lines, yea they're real nice but all in all, you most likely won't notice the difference between them and ss.
both materials don't expand much so your brakes are solid. you'll totally notice from stock rubber though.

I'm prob. going to be getting a pair of SS lines also. I'm debating between the Goodridge and the Galfer sets...
What fluid are you using in your new system, Honda?

They shouldn`t make your brakes any more touchy than they already are, it sounds like your thinking of brake pads, when people change there stock lines to steel braided they often change the pads to a race compound so they can improve the braking further, these pads are usually designed to work at hotter temperatures than stockers, so when you first set off and there cold they can feel a little wooden,
I run Goodridge Lines with Carbone Lorraine SBK5 Pads on stock rotors, Awesome stopping power.

Thanks for all the information, i think i'm going to get some SS ones soon. My brake pads have pretty good life left so i'll probably wait on them, but what are some good brake pads that aren't too pricey?
