Will 400ex Brake Lines Fit A 450r?

[infantry317]

I've got some stock length Galfer lines and would like to know they'll fit the 450?
Thanks :D

as long as they're long enough they should.

i'm pretty sure they fit fine....take them and hold them to the points of connectivity and see if they fit before you take the stock ones off...that will tell you for sure

I dont think you will have much to gain by switching to these brake lines. The honda lines are designed to they have the perfect amount of brake feel and stopping power.

If you go with a steel braided line you will loose much of the brake feel that you have with stock.

I don't see how steel braided lines could be worse than stock, maybe the same but not worse. I think your just not gettin the new lines bled as good as honda did the stock lines out of the factory.

The stockers are rubber tubing. they are allowed to expand a very small amount. It takes a much greater force to expand the stainless hoses. This makes them more sensitve. Once you hit the brakes hard, it will skid. The stock honda lines will have a slightly delayed braking, and won't hit as hard, but I doubt an average rider can tell the difference between the two.

I know the difference between the two and how they work, and I will feel the difference in a 2 hour long woods race where I'm tappin the front brakes every 10 seconds.
