Braided clutch lines and Barnett clutch springs?

If so, what sort of price were they and do you rate them as up grades???

Braided lines only work better when they're under lots of pressure. Clutch line is almost no pressure at all, it's only working against the clutch springs, not clamping pads against discs like a brake line.
There'll be no benefit in fitting braided clutch lines except for aesthetics, IMO.
Unless anyone knows better?

having seen rubber clutch lines perish and bulge a few times, id say braided is worth it...esp if u intend to keep the bike for a few years :wink:
