I have searched about stainless braided brake lines for the last week and I am finally ready to buy some. I like the look of the three line setup with only one line at the MC, but the two line setup is cheaper and most say better performing so I guess I will go with those. That being said, I just got off the phone with cyclebrakes.com and they did not have a listing for my 04, they had the specs for the 02 and 03. Would there be any differences between 03 and 04 on the length of the brake lines? She did say if I wanted to measure my lines they would custom make the lines for the front for the same price as as the combo advertised on their site. Are there any tips I should know on how to measure my front brake lines? Any input is appreciated.....

The '04 and later are 2 inches longer than the earlier ones.  Because of the different handlebars.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Bear, to anyone that has the two into two front brake lines on an 04 or up, what length did you order?

warrior04 .... the best performing frt brake line is the 3-pc line as there is less fluid displacement during heavy braking. The only down side to the 3 pc line is that it has 2-more connections.

The Galfer PN FK003D311-3 will fit your Yami TT's and mounts slightly different than the Russell brake line which is offered by Yamaha or from Phat Performance at a lower yet price. The Galfer will give you the firmest lever because of its construction but the Russell is a direct fit to the exact mounts. There are other makes out there but their fittings are large and combersome IMO.

Here's some threads to change your thinking:

Thanks Alan, I think I am going to go with the 3 pc line after all. Thanks for the knowledge, this site is the best!
