Front brakes.

#1 Unread post by Gilfy650a »

So today i bled my front brakes and it improved the brakeing a little bit, but they were still not as strong as i would think they should be.

I figure alot of it has to do with the 20 year old hoses that go from the master cylinder to the caliper.... I will probably switch to some steel ones when i get some money together.

id like to run steel brake lines but god its expensive. cant justify that much cash for a minor improvement in stopping. when i have brake problems and need new lines anyways ill spring the extra cash for steel yes.

add more horsepower then just engine brake more; p
