Re: Snapped brake line

Want the toughest brake line in the world, I needed a custom line length after putting the 08 swingarm on my 04 636. So i went to a industrail rubber supply warehouse. They make stainless lines for hydraulics on heavy machinery and ****. They made me a stainless line to the length i wanted and the banjo ends are like 4 times as thick as any line ive ever seen, this **** would never break. And it toke about 5min for them to make it.

So beware.. And take care!

On a side note, anyone wannna buy a 07 and up 1000rr rear brake line? :-)

+1 I hate Galfer. Thier rotors for example, the buttons always come loose and the rotors rattle like crazy. Thier pads destroy rotors, heat glazing them and cracking. I have also seen issues like your speaking od Kyle on regular non-stunted street bikes.

Re: Snapped brake line

I agree that HEL is bettr than galfer, but I installed a new HEL hb line right before havasu... And I'm already having some seepage coming from between line an fitting junction. WTF. Brake lines hate me!
