I went ridding a little today (just mess around on the road and in my yard) anyway I know to be fast you gota hit the corner as fast as you can and leave it with the most momentum. So I was going full speed 5th gear slamming on the rears (about half the distance that I should of), tossing all of my weight over and pulling into my drive way and throwing the rocks about 50 feet away. I was having a lot of fun showing off to my friends how fast I can turn with having control. They all think I’m an HUGE dumb***** if I don't race this year. So I want to know if the rear stainless steel brake lines would be a big improvement over stock. I won't get front until I get extended a-arms. So what you guys think? Should I get them for MX? Who here has had experience with them?



Thanks alot,

braided break lines will help you stop quicker and your brakes will work better...kinda like if ya squeez the lever, it is all spongy..they eliminate that...
i can do a 5th gear wide open on a 90 degree chip and seal thats not banked..one front tires always in the air..
i think the fronts would actualy make more difrence than the rear becasue supposidly its faster to use front instead of rear brakes..

i love mine... the rears did help out some bc i use my brakes alot in the air and when i am playing around... it took out all of the spongy feeling... as soon as i touch them they just lock up... the fronts what really helped me... i can be comin into a turn and b4 i would have to stop lets say 15ft b4 the turn now i wait til 10ft and just tap the break and they have me right down to speed... also when i drag someone with stock... and we get up to 5th usually i am stopped 1o to 15ft b4 them and thats lockin up stopping as hard as we can.....
