Tyga Side Panels or Apex SS Brake Lines

Driddle · July 14th, 2013, 05:17 PM

So.. I have the money to do one upgrade to my bike this month. I can get Tyga CF Side panels for about $60 shipped, or I can get the Apex SS (red) brake lines for $52.95 shipped.

I was wondering what your guys's take is on either/which one you would get or think I should get.

What exactly is the advantage to having the SS brake lines vs the stock ones?

Thanks

Brake lines, they actually do something. They give you a little more feedback from the brakes. This means that you can better modulate how much pressure you're applying. Not to mention, the install requires that you replace the brake fluid, which is a good thing as well. Many street riders forget to change their brake fluid once in a while.

Brake lines, once you ride with proper brake lines you'll wonder how you ever used the rubber ones, the feel at the lever is much more solid.

oddly enough i always used to lock the rear brake no matter how little i used towith the stock lines. With the new lines i havent seemed to lock the rear at all and it feels as if im using more force/pressure on them, with still no locking. Could just be me though. I already have a good 150miles or so with the new lines

Probably due to air in the line.

I'll be ordering the brake lines from the group buy section (Check the marketplace). I've already got the invoice for it, I just need to send the money out.

I'll be getting the Red Apex SS Brake lines to compliment my black bike (and red rim tape).
