    Do they make a big difference? I know everyone says they do but how drastic is it?

    thanks.

    I managed to bleed mine on standard hoses just before it went in for the hose change and it was perfect with a very good lever pressure and I'll be honest, I've not had as good a brake since they were fitted, may be due to a pocket of trapped air somewhere, but when I fitted them to my Gixer 1000 they were noticeably better than standard. Mine need a re-bleed.
