stainless steel hoses

[honda400exrider]

i am looking into the stainless steel break lines and wondering if they are worth the money, look good, and weither thwy actually increase breaking power. thanx.:square

[CBW]

i have them on all mine........they are definately better than the stock rubber ones..........there is a much firmer feel...but that is my opnion...:)

[Tommy 17]

they are def worth the extra moeny to put them on ur quad... they make the brakes feel so much better... my brakes use to be really spongy but now u just tap them and u stop... i would def get them... all my friends with 400s have them too... we like fastline the best and then the russels...

[Dave400ex]

Stainless Brake lines are well Worth the Money. They make you Stop Faster and have a Better feel for the Brakes. I want to get some for my 400EX. I would go with Galfer or Fastline.

[ChadEXer]

I ordered me a set of Fastline red stainless lines from marcums. You can get the whole set for about $130 in your door! I think that was the price. i dont remember. I ordered so much at one time.

[Dave400ex]

I like the Fastline Brake Lines. 400ex21 has the Red ones and they look really Sweet. I want to get some of the Red Lines too. Most places have the Fastline Lines for around $135. Marcum`s is Cheaper.

[bigbadbrad]

james lucky has them for cheaper. any one have pics of what the red ons look like on the bike just ordered some

[Dave400ex]

How much is James Lucky selling them For? 400ex21 has Pictures. He will have to Post some for You.

here's what red looks like on the front..

[Dave400ex]

Are those Fastline Rico?

And here's one of the rear...

Warrior man I don't know,,can't remember,,I got the front and backs from James Lucky on sale for around $90..but they work awesome..

[Dave400ex]

Well they look Sweet. I think they are Fastlines if you got them from James Lucky.

[ChadEXer]

Mine arent installed yet of course!!

[ChadEXer]

Rico, What kind of digital camera you got there?? I must have the cheapest one:D or i just dont know how to use it cause mine is blurry as he!!. it says automatic focus on it. its a Poloroid I got from Target for $85. It was the cheapest one:D you must have one of them $750 jobbers!!

The camera is a Intel. It's my companies camera and it's not all that good,,,here lately half the pics come out blurry like yours,,it's POS...:rolleyes:

[Dave400ex]

Those look Nice Chad.

Your Camera is a little Blurry. Oh well. At least you can Post Pictures now.

[Pro400EXC]

$130 is OK,but i can get those Dual Line kits for $80 and the rear for $39, now I think thats a great deal,or you can go to
http://www.denniskirkoutlet.com/

then click on quad,and brakes,they have Russel Brake lines for a 250R for only $50,thats a deal,anf the rear is $29,will 250r lines fit 400ex?

[Dave400ex]

I heard the Galfer Brake Lines are very Good. Duncan also has Brake Lines. PEP does too.

[honda400exrider]

brake lines all around are about 140 know...

[d-14 rider 27]

what ever happened to herrmann? herrmann sells brake lines too, i like them, only thing is theyre not plastic coated, but the fittings he uses make it easier when its gotta be twisted to fit right.

[lilpoppy]

i didnt know changing you brake lines made such a big difference. Are they hard to install, how long does it take?

[YZROOSTINYA]

about a hour with bleeding and instal, twice the stopping power, the stock rubber hoses bulge when you pull in the lever which allows less pressure to the caliper

[Extremeracer167]

Rico,
What kinda swingarm is that? It doesnt look like stock, and i know that aint your houser?????

[Dave400ex]

Yeah I have heard that the Brake Lines are a huge difference in braking power. You guys that have Fastlines, do they come with a new T coupler and the line to the master cylinder in the bars?

[Sparks425Ex]

Stock Lines Streatch when the Brake is applied. This caused more pressue to stretch the lines rather then going into the caliper.


Fastline and Gafler are both very good Brake lines. I have never had experience with anything else.
