    Without sounding stupid, what's the difference between them and normal brake lines? I'm being idol and can't be bothered researching them.

    Braided lines, if i'm not mistaken, don't swell with fluid like standard rubber lines which can contribute to a spongy feel at the lever. It's a great mod, and one that should be done if you care about such things.They firm up the brake feel and hence help with stopping power.

    the older the bike gets the worse the standard rubber lines will perform as they get weaker. the braided lines will not degrade and last throughout the bikes lifetime

    Manufactures guidelines state rubber lines should be change after three years. Hel, goodridge last for years as you say. :)

    fair one. i was just looking at getting a PCV and bike dyno'd as fuel consumption seems to have changed quite epically after fitting my new exhaust. i think brake lines after that.
