Haha nice!

That sounds like a good idea, still got a few weeks till the "BIG" trackday, so I was going to get this done before then. Want the bike performing tiptop.

I just got a set of kevlar lines and am finding the time to put them on.

It's going to be a supervised DIY project for me. Believe me when I say if I can even think about doing it...you can do it!

vacuum bleeders are awesome opposed to wrench and pump. Pads are easy 3 or 4 bolts max lines are easy just gotta know the order or the banjos and washers. Nothing to it.

Ah I've used a Mighty-vac and it's the shit for sure but I don't mess with the brakes enough to buy one when it takes me a few minutes to bleed and then I tie my lever down over night and they come out perfect!

When you replace an entire system, it's the shit. And, it cost $20 - I already have the compressor. It is my contention that brakes are more important than anything else on your bike - I mean, even if you blow a tire you still have to stop. And, bleeding lines would take FOREVER when putting in a new system or trying to work out a bubble. With this, it's moments. It is absolutely brilliant.
