ok, so the Seca unfortunately is stuck with the single disc in the front until I can upgrade to a newer bike. Will upgrading the brake lines to Steel Braided lines really make any difference? I have read that the rubber will stretch and you will lose some of that force on your hydraulic receiver, but is it truly and upgrade that I would want to do?

stories about steel braided lines?

If the bike is over 4 years old then yes it will make a difference and the line is probably well over due for replacement.

I wouldn't bother unless you're tracking it........especially it being a Seca II with the single front disc. I highly doubt you'll feel any difference.....

I wouldn't go as far to say that a difference isn't going to be noticeable.

Aside from the obvious performance advantage stock rubber lines need to be replaced often (even though most fail to do this) so there are two good reasons for him to switch.

thanks for the input. I'll see how much the cost is to get them replaced.

I have found kits for about $80 shipped. I think its worth it. Didn't know that you had to replace the lines every couple of years- fluid yes, lines no.

The stock rubber lines definitely have a shelf life.

and since my bike is about 15 years old....
