[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1221155, member: 13519"] FJR brakes crappy? When was the last time you bled them? I'm on the mobile version, so I don't know what year you have. All the braided lines do is reduce any elasticity the OEM lines may have. So instead of the lines bulging some, the pressure goes directly to the calipers. They may grab a little faster, but not "better." Those few that have done a GenII will attest it is a royal pain in the ass. Most say not worth the time, effort and expense. Just about everyone here will tell you the FJR has phenomenal brakes. If yours aren't stopping the bike, or don't brake hard enough to activate the ABS, something is wrong. If the ABS does activate, well, you've reached the end if what the brakes can do. That would just be a 'weight of the bike' thing. You do use both brakes...Right?? [/QUOTE]
