What's the difference between the racing SS brake hoses and the street ones?
My car has the racing ones on right now, but I do have the street versions on standby. |

One other thought. The front brake reservoir is attached to the handle bars. The only motion the line would see is vibration and the up and down movement of the front wheel.
The rear brake is mounted to the frame and is operated by your right foot. The only motion that line would see is vibration and the up and down motion of the rear tire. An automotive line sees right, left, up, down and vibration all at the same time. |
