Those of you running stainless steel brake lines?

Mine came stock with them.

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.

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

I've got Kevlar on mine. Biggest difference I've seen was putting my Galfer HH pads on. Brakes much harder, and i like it a ton.
