In getting a price for just an 18" braided rear line, the price is $35 + shipping.

All the lines are $89 + shipping. I've mostly only heard of people replacing the rear one, and wondered if there was really any reason to do the others.

Thoughts as I know I'll get them.

I think the main purpose for doing them all is to firm up the brakes.
After a while the rubber ones begin to be more flexible and brakes get sloppier.
Braided lines stay pretty stiff throughout their life.

I am seriously looking at doing mine when the weather truns better.

 

Yeah, what MTL said. I am curious if the added firmness to the rear will make the fronts degrade quicker due to the added stress/ less expansion in the rear line? The lines were one of my favorite mods to my old 850t.

I doubt it but you could switch to ceramic pads if you were worried about excessive wear.

 

Sorry, I should have specified that I was not reffering to the pads but the front lines themselves. MTL?, anyone?

I doubt they will degrade any faster since the pressure is the same.
I would suggest doing both front and back for the most dramatic effect tho.

 

I would deff. consider upgrading to ceramic pads if you do need some brakes. They cant be beat by anything as far as overall performance, quietness, longevity, lack of dust.
