Stainless Steel Two Line Front Brake System

I'm changing the Front brake lines in the winter maintenance cycle,My xj900(seca in the US) currently has a three line rubber system,ie master cylinder to splitter,splitter to both brake discs.I can have these made locally,or as an alternative a two line system.This is one line from the master cylinder direct to the Brake,with a Banjo taking another line from the master cylinder to the other brake.
i'm in two minds about the two line system it seems more simple and elegant,and i'm told more efficient,being popular with the crotch rocket mob here in the UK.Comments Anyone?

 

why not? go for it

 

thats what i did, when the time comes to measure for the new lines get a length of clear plastic hose and use that to layout the route, it bends like brake line so you can see how it lays

 

Polock,how did you find the improvement overall?

 

i went from the three line rubber to the two line stainless braided and the difference is amazing so long as your disc's and pads are up to scratch you don't need as much pressure to get the same stopping effect as the old lines. i definately reccomend you do the change, you won't reget it.

 

i only put about 10 miles on my seca with the the old ones before i tore the whole bike apart so ? but with all the brake parts in good order i'd give the brakes a 8 of 10
my maxim with all good working parts except the old rubber lines, i'd have to give 3 maybe 4 of 10
the lines make a big difference

 

From what I was reading before about the SS lines (I got a set from Chacal),
because there is 0 expansion of the SS lines compared to the old rubber lines, when applying brakes, the only difference is the compressibility of the brake fluid so if you shorten the overall length of the lines by bypassing the distribution block (MC line to 2 lines) then you will have a difference in the amount of fluid in the lines to be compressed over the original length and volume of fluid.

Makes sense! I stuck to the original layout but that's just me!
