Upgrading brakes...
 

Thinking about lines, pads and a good fluid....


Hard enough to justify shop expensive or easy enough DIY a 5yo could do it?

Suggestions for brands also welcome.(Galfer, EBC, Carbon Lorraine, etc)

I have Galfer on the Monster - and use EBC pads.

Though, after working with a few distributors there aren't very many differences between the big lines.

I suggest giving Moto Mummy a call - tell them you're with me. They're local and I KNOW you can do this yourself. www.motomummy.com

Easy. Do it yo'self.

ABSOLUTELY easy, do it yourself. I'd get some EBC sintered pads, Galfer lines, and enjoy.

Just me, but I'd only the the steel line up front given my riding style, no need for a steel line out back for me.

Ya I'm only doing the front, I RARELY use the rear.

Starting from an uphill stop or if I'm about to see my life flash before my eyes coming into a turn too hot, it gets used.

Really easy, do it yourself.

we got a good thread on here about bleeding the lines, that's the hardest part and you want to get your lines bleed great for them to work awesome.

It's on my list of shit to do to my bike... though I accidentally bought the rear pads on closeout (non-returnable) when I bought my lines... Need pads...

As soon as my vacuum bleeder gets in I'll do a full post with pics on how to install and bleed the entire front brake system, but brakes are really easy.

Tye, you know you're always welcome to come bring it by and I'll show you how to do this - actually, I'll just supervise and tell you how. :lol: It's my favorite wrenching.

I have a vacuum bleeder. You just need the parts/lines/pads/fluid AND find a time in my schedule. I'm game. We could make a garage party of it.
