Default Stainless Steel Brake Lines for the KLX 250?

Does anyone have a source (direct link maybe?) for steel brake lines for our bike? There's a lot of mush in the stock lines IMO.

Not sure, but I weigh 240 and ride fast and hard on gravel and streets and I have never had a problem with soft brakes, but I would like to to get the line from under the caliper up on top.

Yeah, I'm looking at the front end as I type. You're talking about the metal line that goes from the fork/boss to the pistons, right? I think I'll split some fuel line and put it on there as a wrap until you figure how to reroute it. There's a lot of rocks where I ride. Thanks for the heads up!

I don't know man. The brakes just feel like they could be tighter with a bit more feedback to me. Maybe I just need to give it a bit more lever.

One thing I always tell people as a reminder, the front brake is 75% of the stopping power on a bike, even on loose gravel. Don't be afraid to us it.
