I am probably the only one who has a stainless steel braided rear brake line. :nuts1:
I spent about 3 hours last night removing the old line and another 30 minutes installing the new line. Honda must put the rear brake line in first before anything else on the assembly process because to really get to it you would have to pull the fuel tank, battery, and the metal guard below the battery. I managed to get it without doing all that, but it wasn't easy. The rear brake line has three hold downs on the left side and only one of them is easy to get to. I ended up leaving the 3rd one off my brake line and used a cable tie to hold it in place. Even had to remove the coolant reservoir to get the new line on the master cylinder. For the little amount of performance increase I will see from the rear brake; I wouldn't recommend this mod to anyone. The amount of work doesn't justify the end result.
Now I have to bleed the brake lines
