BMW Motorcycle Brake Lines

To say “Loud Pipes Save Lives” is utterly wrong. Truth is: Good BRAKES Save Lives. But, as politicians and advertisers know, the truth rarely makes for a catchy slogan. For decades, brake systems on most bikes have been the hydraulic type with brake LINES connecting all the components. Since the life blood of your brakes runs through those slender veins, their integrity is essential not just to the success of your ride, but to your very survival! Most original BMW motorcycle brake lines delivered through the mid-2000s and later were plastic inside a rubber sheath — highly susceptible to moisture absorption, fluid contaminants, UV deterioration, weather conditions, impact damage, and most importantly… age. As the rubber lines got older they became softer and would expand from the hydraulic pressure inside when brakes were applied, thus robbing some of the force meant to make you stop. According to BMW factory specs, the service life of a rubber brake line is about six years. Be honest; how old are your brake lines? The universally recognized, superior alternative is Teflon hose sheathed in braided stainless steel, and Bob’s BMW carries the best. Browse here to find safer, longer-lasting stainless steel brake lines to fit YOUR bike!
