Those of you running stainless steel brake lines?
 

Any regrets? or No looking back? I've considered doing the swap when I change these brake pads, just looking for the good, bad, and ugly you have experienced thus far? I've never run them before....

Tried mine out for the first time today. I didnt get the sudden "BOOM NOW YOUR NOT GOING 60 MPH ANY MORE" bite i was expecting, but i did seem to be stopping a lot sooner than i was used to. I'd say it cut my braking distance down by at least 10ft at 40mph, and i havent even really put any pressure on em yet, still breaking them in.

I'm in the "no regrets, never going back" category. All my bikes run SS lines.

They don't make a huge difference in stopping power over good (read new) stock lines, but they are a hell of a lot more consistent and really help with brake fade, which is great if you do any track time or aggressive street riding.

I don't have them on my current bike but have used them on all of my bikes prior to this one for the past 20 years. No regrets, work great, last a long time. Stopping power not so different. The difference is consistent, stable and predictable braking that you don't know you don't have now. They are especially noticeable if your lines are a few years old.

Yea once you have your pads in you'll notice a difference I'm certain.

SS lines FTW! Every bike I've owned since '95 has had them.

Tigger what pads you running on your bike?

Mine came stock with them. :idk:

Got 'em on the niner and I love 'em. One thing I would have done differently if I had been the one putting them on would be to grind the little stop on the caliper that keeps the line from rotating enough that the line wouldn't rub my front fender. They only touch for about 1/8", but that was enough to start rubbing into the fender and they made an impression that is not noticeable unless you look realllllly hard. I'm just anal about shit like that though. I figure if it doesn't touch, it can rub a hole in anything. :D

Stainless lines offer a significant increase in consistency. That's the long and short of it.
