    Stainless Steel Brake Lines

    I know this thread already exists but I could not find it. Does a set of these really cost $250? Those who have upgraded, has it made a great improvement in braking ability? I am looking at the UFO set. http://planetvmax.com/85-07vmax/brakes/#!/~/product/category=3613433&id=15357987...

    Rear brake failure

    Yesterday riding down a canyon road I felt the rear brake fade, then gone. Peddle would just bottom out, like no hydraulic pressure, and no rear brake at all. After coming out of that canyon, about 15 miles of fairly straight riding, 65 MPH, no use of the brakes. Down into the next...
