    Have had HEL on mine for about 2 years, feels like I could do a stoppie on my humble FZ6. Braking definitely improved 10 folds.

    Coremoto had some bad post about their customer service on r1 forum.com

    I would buy any other brand you listed but the coremoto .

    Spiegler 2 of my friends have them and looks top notch stuff to me.

    HEL only heard good things about them on the r1-forum

    Galfer - I use them and would buy them again.

    Re: upgrade to SS braided lines...

    Hel. awesome brake lines. get them from moto-heave.com they are the US distributor and make all the lines in house. they can make them up custom any way you want. and if you look at the catalog of parts on helperformance.com you'll see the different end styles you can choose from. had a set of custom superbike style lines made for my 929 years ago and they are great. I wanted to swap them over to my 600 trying to put them on and not getting them to seal I emailed moto-heaven. they said the 600 calipers don't seal internally so that's why I can't just swap them.


    I put a Goodridge rear on my 600 last year and its quality is right there with Hel. Spiegler looks nice also but I have no experience with them

    anything braided is going to serve better than stock rubbers no matter who you go with. with that said i went spiegler a few years back and my bikes have seen nothing other since.

    Im not trying to be a shitbird but iv been hearing some recent QC issues with galfer, have not heard anything on their braided lines but I know a few guys who have received bad rotors.

    +1. Most expensive set of lines I'll ever buy, and totally worth it.

    Spiegler's have treated me well.

    I had Galfer's on my track SV, and despite it being garaged 100% of the time, the connections developed rust in less than a year. That's when I made the switch.
