why goodridge as they r made of two different metals wich causes corrosion when wet..
or r the goodridge better from a performance view..

Makes no difference. Both just as good performance.

I have goodridge lines on my NC30. You dont have to worry about the metal corroding as they are encased in a see-thru plastic coat - mine have been no for a couple of years and still look and work excellent.

im fitting Goodridge hoses to my ZXR right now as it goes and yes they are incased in a platic tube (clear) plus i think goodridge are more popular with road bikes and hel with racers but dont quote me on it

I am currently trying to fit FZR250 Brakes to my SRX400. Need to get some lines though!

And I wouoldn't bother with braided hoses on the rear. No point.

I reall should get my backside in gear and get some fitted to mine, havent had the time or the inclination of late but its definitely on the to do list, very likely going with Goodridge, they have never steered me wrong in the cars :)
