Braided brake lines

Post by SchafferFinney »

To start off, i was racing in mining country today, and my rear brake suicided just as i started my 200ft downhill dusty rutted out decent down the side of a hill. I am now in the market for braided steel brake lines (front/back) but i can't find any that are specifically for a 2006 kdx200. Does anyone know of any? Thanks.

Galfer made mine.

A big difference in feel when the hose doesn't swell and stretch. Truely a 1 finger operation to work the front brake. My rear was equally as impressive.

I've thought about that for dirt. I have a street bike with a single fr disk, and adding a braided line made enough of a difference it feels like I added another disc!

Galfer also makes custom lines. Not sure on the prices, but it might be worth looking into. Galfer does not sell to the public, and the same goes for the custom lines. I found a link to a website that is a reseller for Galfer, and also provides a line on the custom side.
