(Galfer, Goodridge, Earls etc.) - less flex, more feel.
I do NOT recommend the lines from Fastline, they will get condensation in
the covering (looks like fuel line hose to me.) The get all "funky" looking
inside.

Thanks for the post!! I am going to go with the Galfers as soon as the
cash flow dictates I can.
Cyou at the track... Probably Wednesday Expect Mid 10's out of the beast

Hey Phil,
Looking
Good job Steve, you probably just cost Coca-Cola a couple hundred
customers! But your right, the stuff is one of best rust removers I've ever
had the misfortune to drink. Works well for de-oxidizing pitted aluminum
too. Jacques

I have the old style brake lines and want to upgrade or fix the ones i
have. When I say fix I am referring to the rust that is prevalent on the
springs that go around the rubber. I am also interested in the brake
lines that offer less flex and quicker response when you depress the
lever.
What
Go here http://www.sayegh.org/discount.htm and check out the discount for
Galfer brake lines from Wurlitzer distributors. I got the whole set, clutch,
front and back brake, for about $150. Very nice and clean looking braided
stainless steel lines help improve feel and feedback of brakes.

Thanks Randy, Where might i find a picture of these Galfer lines ?
Thanks Phil

of what kind of looks you want. If
I were to install again, I could not tell you right now
which I would select. I like what I have, but would be
happy with the two single lines up front.
I do not have the pages ready to upload on the brake lines,
but there are some pics on the photopoint.com albums

Well one reason could be cost( but maybe not ),look at the bikes you

Loudin,etc, those bikes are ultra performance bikes, the max is a power cruiser,
I have the older max brakes and I've pulled a few bonehead moves

Hello All, I have just ordered my SS brake line kit from Ernie at Wurlitzer
Distributing.
Question: Is there any benefits/draw backs to running the OEM brake line
configurations(w/SS lines) which utilizes the "splitter" under the lower clamp?
Ernie had two configurations
1) which utilizes
bolt at the m/cylinder a single line to each calliper (2 line
system). The costs rise with the number of lines (obviously) but this is
more to do with the number of fittings required. The price of bolts only is
high... BTW, they offer s/steel kevlar brake lines (variety of
'sleeves
Steve, when I did mine, single line to each side, the banjo fittings,
15* amd 30*, were 11.00 apiece, 90* were 16.00. The braided line was
around 70.00 for a 8ft. section. Thought of using the Kevlar, but it
doesn't flex as well and the composition breaks down sooner.
