Ray if you view correcting you on your incorrect advise that can cost other members both money and their safety as pitiful then little I can do to change that.
There is a very simple solution to the problem however and shall leave that to your intelligence to work out.
Also no wish to air crap in public Ray and you have my number so please do feel free to call if you have something to say to me ?
Count Busa from what you have written it does not surprise me that with you obviously having no idea of the theory involved my post would appear as nonsense.
Take your front pads out and place a 20 cent coin under the pistons ................. once the lever has been operated enough times for the fluid to fill the extra volume created as the pistons move out to their new position ................ you shall find the lever is the exact height as it was before. The design of the master cylinder called a compensating port design is exactly designed so for this reason so that as pads and discs wear the lever / pedal height remains constant.
Evil brake fade is usually caused when the heat that is generated whilst braking cannot be dissapated as quick as it's being created. This is usually the heat from friction between pad and disc. You can also get loss of lever if brake fluid boils and hence creates air in the system that unlike brake fluid can be compressed and hence a loss of lever height.
A brake line is merely the carrier for the fluid and once again will have no bearing on brake fade .............. lever feel due to it not swelling under pressure as rubber lines do yes ......... but not brake"fade"
Your bike your brakes and your life ............
