That's what I would have said also.

I've always wondered this but would anyone actually replace worn brake lines with new rubber ones!? Given the cost of OE rubber brake lines......

Well the bike is just about 2 years old, so I'm sure the current lines are ok, but the back brake has never been that great, so I wondered if getting these fitted would help at all.

I suppose I may have also been thinking that they are a bit of bling too, but primarily the back brake was my reason.

I wouldn't have thought they'd have any effect on the back really, I had a back line in my kit so I fitted it but it doesn't make a difference (and that's with potentially 6-year-old rubber lines at the time, on the CBR).
