@odn3: if you ride on the street anywhere with a population consisting of more than just yourself then you will experience someone pulling out in front of you. Your emergency braking practice is essential to your survival. Also: remember stopping distances. No point knowing how to brake perfectly if you're riding so fast that it's physically impossible to stop in time. In a sense - the better you are at braking, the faster you can safely ride!
Thought I'd replied to this, but can't see it.

Yeah I fitted the front line about 3 1/2 years ago, very noticeable difference in the feel at the lever, much more precise/less sqiudgy.

HEL have a pretty good reputation, the lads on TT superbikes trust them to make the brakes work, & I can't think of a much more demanding application

(just don't do what I did, ordered them on monday, threw the bike down the road tuesday, & they arrived thursday... ideal timing)
