Braided vs standard brake hose

[rjw3105]

Here is one for the anally retentive and the tech. heads. (Usually the same people) I was doing some research for a project I've been working on and found this paper ona british site. Makes interesting reading. The braided hoses are one of the first mod's I started looking at , still haven't done it but I'll get there one day

if i said anything i would probably get negative responses because i am 17 and don't know about busas! but great read and i think braided lines are definately the way to go! i do research alot of things about hayabusa's and you would be suprised how much i know!!

the OEM definately expand after a while so braided is always good especially when OEM's need changing. only question is whether to do the clutch line as well, I did.

After having what i call spoungey brakes I changed the rear line to braided... It made a great differance to my bike

Seem to remember seeing the replace hose interval in the manual, 4 years from memory. Anyway they do perish so nice blingy aftermarkets are good value.
