  • Front Brake line - two line vs three line setup

    Are there any differences in performance? Why do they offer two types? I'm looking at the HEL or G&J stainless steel lines.


    EDIT: G&J, not A&G. Don't know where that came from

      Better feel at the lever with the 2 line set IMO.
      90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

        Everything from the best brake pads to use, installing new brake lines,
        swing arm swaps, adjusting your suspension or rebuilding your forks.

          Thanks. I did search for it, but didn't find anything

          I think I'll be getting 2 line.

                My G&J lines are fantastic.

                  Some will argue that the size/volume of the master cy was only designed for a single split set up (3 line).
                  Personally I dont think it makes much difference

                  I prefer single line down to the right caliper then cross over to the left side but they look ugly on the Kat. look great on the gixxer/r6 etc and keeps weight down

                  Im running a 2 line Russel set up seems to work fine.

                    But... 2 line, 3 line... both still have only a single split. The only difference is where it's located after the master output. Both are after so any idiot that would argue that simply isn't thinking it through.

                      One could argue that the total fluid volume is lower on the 3 line, but the volume would be minuscule I think...
