Braided lines are all good!

Just picked up my new HEL brake line kit on Friday. Sat managed to free up some time to fit the front set and get them bleed up - only ridden to work so far but feels pretty good compared to the squishy rubber lines. Looka a hell of a lot neater too - the old rubber lines went single from the master to the LH caliper then looped across the mudguard to the RH caliper, now I've got an individual line to each. Gave the Brembo's a bit of a scrub to while they were off - anybody have a magic formula for removing aeons of cooked on brake dust? I used kero and a stiff toothbrush but it needs something with better dissolving qualities...




Gotta fit the rear this week then it's off to my favourite local twisty's for some kookaloo action..

Happy riding!
