I told Joe I would post a very real life personal review of his stainless steel brake lines. So here it is.
After arriving home from the 2017 Pioneer Takeover I bought a set of SS brake lines from Jak's Perfomance. After seeing a couple brake line failures on the 1000 models I thought this would be a great mod for safety reasons.
I had the first set for the 700 he produced, here is my review and thoughts on this upgrade.
First off Joe is a great guy and is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I ordered these while I was out of town for business and had them for a couple weeks before installing them. They arrived VERY quick after ordering.
Installation was a breeze! everything fit perfectly and took me about 30 minutes to install all 3 lines. all lines were the perfect length, all fittings were the correct size and he even supplies a couple extra clamps to make sure they stay out of the way. The clamps do need the mounting holes enlarged slightly, this was no big deal with a good vice on my drill press.
[ Note: I do have a car lift in my shop so this made access much easier]
I would say that I achieved a 10 to 25% better pedal feel after the installation. I could feel NO peddle fade or spongy feel while holding hard on the peddle while creeping down any steep obstacles. I also notice a little more responsive feel to the brakes while being applied.
This was a very good mod for my type of terrain.
I have sense traded in my 700 for a 1k LE. I just got back from its maiden run and I DEFINETLY can feel the difference in the brakes. As soon as Joe finish's up a little research , my 1k L.E. will be getting a set also.
