Like I said. I will definitely be adding brakelines to my checklist for safety.
    Thanks.

    An additional question for anyone: Don't most newer bikes have dual front lines off the master cylinder, or is that just the preferred set-up for aftermarket lines?

    Stock lines run 1 into 2
    sometimes they run 1 line to a caliper with a connecter to the other side running caliper to caliper

    Why is this? If stock lines get "Y-ed" from a single banjo bolt at the master?

    Are the individual lines better?

    Or is it because they'd have to do individual line types for each bike model, instead of just having a certain length for several models?

    Doesn't having the dual banjo bolts at the master mean you have another place to bleed? (which can be a real PITA)
