FYI: That Italian brand can't be FREN TUBO because that simply means
BRAKE TUBING.

Before you jump on the braided band wagon, may I suggest Kevlar lines ? I
have braided lines on my VF11 and the routing was problematic. As they are
very abrasive, anything they touch can be damaged. I had to make stand-offs
to route them properly. I don't remember the brand (years ago) but I also
had to redo the connections many times to cure leaking. The cure was to use
a fresh set of Honda sealing washers instead of the supplied ones.
When I wanted to replace the lines on my 700s, I bought Kevlar lines and
the job went much easier and it never leaked. They were made by an Italian
firm named Fren (the shipping box said Fren Tubo) The VF11 was a straight
forward replacement of original lines, the 700s job took a different
course. I eliminated the manifold that splits the single line from the
master cylinder with two seperate lines on a double length banjo bolt. Both
systems work good but the biggest improvement in braking came from
replacing the pads. I use Ferrodo pads. The set-up of a front brake and
it's clearance makes a huge difference too. If you have money to burn,
there's some really neat brakes to be had (six piston !)
If you could pick up a whole front end from a 700s parts bike, you might
get a dual brake system. I think the front wheel of yours will mount two
discs. As long as the forks are the same diameter and length as yours no
problem with using your tree. Still be some big $$

Ah, thanks. Any preferred brands for a steel brake line?

Hey its me again. I have a 1992 Nighthawk 750cc. I was wounding if
you guys know of any good ways to beef up the braking on this bike. I
pain on doing a steel brake line with ceramic brake pads this
weekend. I heard of a few guys putting duel disk brake on the front
wheel, but never seen a pic of them. Any info would help, thanks.- Hide
