Lost1888 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Goodrich+1 for Galfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 its going to come down to galfer or speigler, and which has the lower price.some claim they are different, but in reality in my opinion, they are both the same. most noticeable difference: speigler has heads that you can rotate for easy install and DOT approved, but galfer is generally cheaper, and i didn't have any problem installing my galfer lines.

Plus' date=' I've bought from them before and they have excellent service and turn around time. They will even custom build any line(s) you want.

cbrjess0815 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 After seeing this I think I know what I am ordering tomorrow lol...I'm definitely getting the fronts, would it be totally unnecessary to get the rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm definitely getting the fronts, would it be totally unnecessary to get the rears?How much do you use your rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrjess0815 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Not much at all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Well, the rear will look nicer than stock!Add: It will make the rear easier to lock up...could be a problem until you get used to it.

cbrjess0815 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 true story... I'm gonna focus on practicality before appearance though so ill hold off on rears just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 DONT BUY REARS.... SAVE your Money.. The only thing stainless rear lines is going to do for the average rider is get them hurt when they lock it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 true story... I'm gonna focus on practicality before appearance though so ill hold off on rears just yetGood move, I think if I was going to do the rear I would lighten the rotor. If you want to go that route, I know there is a whole thread on 600rr.net about that...good read, lots of opinions both way on doing that.

natedogg624 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 i was under the impression that it was the type of fluid you got that determined how stiff/hard the brakes were. the SS lines were just to prevent fade...so with that you could get SS rear line and just put normal pads and DOT 4 fluid in there and you'd be fine. is that a correct assumption?idk i got SS rear's only because it was a good deal i got for mine, i haven't ever had a problem locking them up.

The stock rubber lines will flex/bulge some as the brake pressure increases causing a squishy feeling...braided will firm this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedogg624 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 gotcha, o well no matter. i got fronts and rear for under 100 so i might as well slap it on. i never had any problems with locking the rear up last year, and if its too stiff you could always introduce some air in the lines...
