braided hoses worth it?
« on: September 04, 2007, 11:19:42 AM »
hey gang, new member here so sorry if im not getting with board protocol and just steaming in with a Q...

ive got a 2004 10.. the brakes while pretty good sometimes do let me down in anger...

when i fitted braided hoses on my 793cc zx7 (with castiron PFM disks) it didnt make all that much difference...

are putting braided hoses worth it on the 10R, if so which are the recommended ones..

GRNINJA has just bought some for his...so maybe worth waiting a few days....

Everyone I know on here has said they make a difference, but especially when fitted with a brembo m/c

I have just bought some Goodridge s/steel ones, but again, are having them fitted with a brembo!

I will not know the diffence to be honest mate as I am sticking a brembo on so that will make most of the differnece.....

I don't think you will notice it so much..... might help with a small bit of fade but not alot of difference I would say....  :dontknow:
