    Galfer Superbike brake lines?

    These are the lines the screw directly into the caliper instead of using a banjo. Says for race use only...just curious why? Thinking about using these on my street bike but want to know if it's a bad idea first. Anyone use them before?

    Prolly a smaller inside diameter on the hose which, to some riders, can create the feeling of an "all or nothing" type situation with the brakes.

    I say use 'em and continue being happy.

    i use them on my gsxr. no problems, i use them a lot when i ride behind Vermonters.

    all seriousness, i think its just a non-DOT "cover-your-ass" statement.

    They work well but the two sets I have installed have got some rust on the connectors where they go onto the calipers.

    Its poor anodising. A shame because they are nice lines otherwise
