    Lad at work has bought a set of braided hoses for his blade and just wanted a heads up if anyone has attempted the job before?

    Fitted some a while back, but changing lines isnt the problem its the full ABS bleed you need to do afterwards!

    TBH unless the current lines are fecked there is no extra performance or change of braking feel to be had.

    Agree!

    Non ABS = Happy Daze!

    ABS = World of Pain with Bleeding!

    Swiss T wrote the best guide download here:

    Seriously, if the upgrade is just for bling dont bother, screw up the bleed and get air stuck in lines/valves/ modulator etc is a world of pain.
    Without sounding facetious the best bet is to leave well alone or buy standard lines and trash the ABS gubbins
