Galfer Vs. Goodridge Brake Lines?

[Ghost]

My last bike (99 F4) had Galfers, and at that time they were pretty much *the* brake lines to get. Now they come in a wider variety of models than 10 years ago, and I've heard lots of good things about Goodridge lines as well.

Any experiences or suggestions with either?

I have Galfers on my racebike and Goodridge on my street bike. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with either. Find the one that is the least expensive and enjoy.

I recently went with HEL lines from http://www.mopowersports.com/

Great product/vendor and didn't charge extra for colors. I went with black on black.

I had Galfer's on my 01 R6. I did street and track days. They worked great. I think I bought them from JPLRacing (on the board)?

Drop Joe (JPLracing) a PM. He can get you Galfers and he's a top notch guy!

I did the HEL lines on my bike, and am very happy with them. Had them on the bike for about a year and a half now, and no sign of any deterioration. Good colors too.

Mine are too new to judge the longevity but I've been happy with the upgrade from the stock rubber lines. Mine were a custom length, which they cut wrong when building them, so they threw in a rear line as well when the redid them.

Thanks again guys. I was feeling overwhelmed by the choices, and didn't know if there really was a difference--I just want my sponge-rubber lines gone.

Yeah, I know Joe from my days at Fay, I'll drop him a PM and see what he's got.

I was kinda thinking I'd go with Galfer since I had them before, but some of the Goodridge "shadow" or w/e they are black-on-black lines looked kinda cool...

I hadn't heard of HEL before
