    Would Braided Brake Hoses help my braking at high speeds

    Differences are marginal in my experience, I could'nt tell much difference in operation but I fitted them as replacements when one of mine sprung a leak on my K1100 - mind you they were 14 years old at this point. Why are you looking to change them anyway - what do you think the benefit is?

    Have only ever noticed marginal difference when I have changed in the past, now only change when a replacement is required.

    Being on an R6 those brakes should do more than ample. I found that better pads were a bigger improvement than braided lines
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    I would say that braided hoses are good if you need replacements, simply because they'll last a lot longer than standard OE hoses ... but if it's performance you're after, then better pads, good caliper maintenance and regular fluid changes will make more of a difference.

    Maybe it's the new brake fluid that makes the difference???

    If you get the ones with dual lines from the MC, they'll be a lot easier to blead, well worth it for that alone!
