AndyW Posted Monday at 09:46 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:46 AM Looking for kit recommendations and advice on fitting please. @chitown ...you said in a now archived (closed) discussion: Quote Yes, installed (Galfers) myself. Have done brake lines on several bikes. Didn't really think anything was horrible about it. ABS adds time and effort to the job, more to remove and put back, fiddling with routing etc. Otherwise not much different from any other brake line replacement. Might want to plan to do it in conjunction with other maintenance. IIRC the included instructions were b&w but on the Galfers site the pdf includes color photos of routing on the FJ-09. As always refreshments, shop manual, patience are helpful. Usually experience better feel after doing lines but it's subjective. Would still be worth it if not since once the rubber lines are out shouldn't have to do it again Would you still have the kit code and a link to the install instructions? Can't find anything on their EU or USA websites 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylormade21 Posted Monday at 05:18 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:18 PM I've always had great success with Spiegler SS brake lines. I have had them on all my sportbikes and now on the FJ-09. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Supporting Member Share Posted Monday at 06:00 PM @AndyW - I did the Galfer 5-line set on my 2015 FJ-09 several years ago. It wasn’t a difficult job, although perhaps a bit tedious getting everything correctly routed, aligned, and attached. The quality is outstanding, and I have zero complaints. I’ve also heard great things about the Spiegler kits, although I have no personal experience with them. The Galfers appear to still be available for the FJ… you would need to verify if you have a newer-model Tracer. https://www.galferusa.com/shop/moto/lines/stainless-steel-5-line-kit-front-and-rear-included-multiple-lines-fk003d809-5/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted Monday at 06:45 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 06:45 PM Thanks, there is a UK importer for Galfer kits. I have a 2018 GT and the lines you linked to are not compatible. I'll fire a message at Galfer.eu Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
