All Galfer Brake Line KITS are made with Dupont Teflon Steel braided cable. There are 16 braided lines of steel around the inner section, making the line expansion close to zero under all conditions.

Galfer hose meets or exceeds the following tests and requirements: SAEJ 1401, UNE 26-399-89, ISO 3996. Temperature range : -67/ +464(f). Braking power, Galfer lines will require less pressure at the brake lever to stop the bike, allowing the rider to use less force and stop faster.

All Brake lines are coated the entire length of the line to protect the bike from scratches and the brake fluid from humidity.

All Galfer pre-made brake line kits include all the necessary SS banjo bolts and washers. Make sure that all brake line or hydraulic clutch installations are done by a certified professional motorcycle mechanic.

- All Kits include all the necessary mounting hardware -

It is a made in the USA product.

I've tested the SS Brake lines on my own DL650 Vstrom, and the DL1000 Vstrom, as well as many other bikes.

They both look and work great.

If you like them half as much as me, you will thank yourself every day you ride.

Stay safe everyone, and lets see some great photos, every thing from the Grand Canyon, to the Oklahoma City Memorial, to New York City, to Chief Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore, to all point in between, and beyond!!! Show us your stuff!!

How about Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Canada, or what about Alaska?

Good luck, good riding, and best regards,

:) We built our family cabin, ourselves, over a number of years, on Swan Lake, when I was kid; back in the day when a view lot with Lake access, through a common boat launching ramp, was $2,000, and the one acre lake lots, like the one we had was the big money, at $10,000. :D

I understand that they are considerably more now, my parents sold out in the 90's when they retired.

Great shot, and beautiful country, :cool:

5:15 am. Moto-camping on Somes Sound on Mount Desert Island, Maine. The closest thing to a fjord in the United States. The tide came in and out during the night. The sea breeze was intoxicating. The ale helped.

An early spring ride along the Clearfork - Mohican River. Sadly, this old mill was torn down not too long after.

Blue 650s riding the Rim Road along the Mogollon Rim in central AZ. Plenty of great places to stop for pics.

For the first time, I went through all these shots today.
This is my absolute favourite.

Wish I'd taken it. ;) I might steal the idea in the future though.........

Just thinking, I probably shouldn't be eligible as I'm a pro photographer.
Must also say a big thank you to SV Racing Parts for offering their fine products as a prize. Well done!


:) I'm happy to see anyone, and everyone post photos for us all to view and admire the ride,

Enjoy the ride, and best regards,

Thanks Tony T, coming from you I take that as quite the compliment. I really need to go digital though, I end up going through a ton of film to get one I really like.

If you ever make it down to the Bisbee, AZ area we have 4 acres in Tombstone that's just covered with Ocotillo, I should get back out there now that it's monsoon season and get some pics while everything's green.

Very kind Bisbonian.
I had a friend living at Maricopa AZ (no idea if that's anywhere near you) for a while and had planned a trip to visit, but he hasn't been well and has had to move again closer to doctors etc. Plus my life got in the way..........
As for the change to digital, I haven't shot film for more than 5 years, but that was absolutely a business decision. It's a personal choice. I know pro photographers who should never change because they haven't got the mind-set for digital. It is different.
But whatever you use, keep turning out shots like that and keep us all entertained. :D

This contest does not close for a few weeks now, go ahead and post up your best shots, either for quality, or Location, :cool:

Who knows what will catch the judges eye...,
