Is this an expensive mod? I have to get new tires soon so the bike will be going to the shop for that and I could get them installed at the same time if the parts and labor doesn't cost too much.
It is probably the most cost effective mod you can do. Under 200.00 as long as you have a socket/ wrench set already. Its really not bad at all. I had never done any maintenance to brakes other than change them on a car a couple times, and I had the lines changed, new fluid in, and everything buttoned back up in probably less than an hour, and that was taking my time.
Ron got some custom length lines made from Galfer since he's got raised bars. It looks like yours is lowered with Clip ons? I have the same setup. I just ordered mine from Revzilla and the Pre-cut lengths were fine. In all honesty, I could probably stand to have about an inch shorter. Galfers are a two-line set up on the front, so yours won't "piggy back" from one caliper, then over to the other. the pressure is independent in each line to its respective caliper. Its a simple mod that you can do with no issues. the ONLY thing is you may have to "chase" an air bubble out of the line, but you'll be able to do that no problem. Just watch a couple youtube vids on flushing the lines and changing fluid. You'll be good to go. And if you have any issues, Give one of us a call. We'll walk you through it over the phone. Sometimes you need 3 hands to do it lol
Seriously, This is a fantastic mod. Even if you only do the front for now, then do the back later, dooo iiiitttttt!!! It makes the bike so much safer/ consistent. Especially with you being out in TX, you wont have to worry about those rubber lines swelling in the heat and giving you an inconsistent feedback as the fluid then heats up.
ETA - I just checked over my old RZ orders and the current cost online for the same bleed kit i bought:
Front line: 89.95
Rear Line: 48.55
AAP one man bleed kit: 34.99
Total: 173.49 + cost of Brake fluid(I just used Valvoline Dot3/4 - Seen a few guys use it for track days with no problem)
2ETA - What tires are you going with?
LOL.... Bike looks great Tex!
