  2. It's always been one of the first mods i do on all my bikes. I don't know why other manufacturers don't do it as standard like Triumph do

    Yeah me too, first mod I carry out. Tbh all OEM's should really fit braided hoses as standard on all their sports bikes

    Although they wouldn't make much sense on a brake-by-wire bike like a C-ABS Fireblade.
     
  5. First thing I have always done on all my bikes.

    An officer of the law once told me it was a bad idea as modern brakes were designed with the rubber flex built in to the braking system.

    Told me it was a cosmetic mod 'cough'
     
  6. I think one reason OEMS don't fit them is its harder to see if they are about to fail. The braiding hides the hose inside.
