SSTL Braided Brake Lines & Cables
They are definitely nice! It’s never overkill if its what you want. I saw ODCspost on insta earlier. Looks like you have a nice Christmas gift coming!
If you are looking for brakes, my brother is also selling those.

I’m also going to be using his new 13” floating rotors when he finishes the design. If you’re gonna go, go big right?
i saw your bro was making his own rotors.
@xmas gift. i'm already working on the swap. i got the setup yesterday. i was pissed but, Will took care of me. i love that guy. no idea how something got from italy to me in two days... mind blown.

had to go axial because of the wheels but, i'm probably going to go street merchant for 13" radial brembro mounts the space the remainder for my 15" rotors. i'm pretty sure the hd touring brembros will not look all that great on the monza but, that's where i am right now.

I'm dying to try one of the inverted front ends on a HD.
Curious to see how it handles the extra weight. It's hard to draw a comparison with sport bikes that weigh half of what a HD does.
Nice set-up you have there.

Thank you! The ODC parts were designed from the ground up for the weight of HDs as opposed to other manufacturers who have adapted sport bike parts for HD use. Valving is right, springs are the correct rate, shock shafts are thicker etc.
I’d be weary of trying a setup out, unless you have the money to spend. Because once you try it, you’ll be willing to do lewd and illegal sex acts to get the money to buy em!! It’s that big of a game changer��

Not questioning the quality...the finishing may even be intentional, but we would consider that roughed in where I worked. Just CNC profiling with a ball end mill. A profiled part with a smooth finish takes a lot more time and money. Curious to hear Blue Bob's take.

Forgive the dumb question, but is there a tangible benefit to going braided stainless, or is it primarily aesthetics's?

Better lever feel due to the line not being able to expand like a stock unit. Plus looks.

EXPOSED steel braid is aesthetic and/or abrasion resistant. Some steel braided lines are jacketed for various reasons...like chemical/environmental protection, aesthetics, insulation (electrical or thermal), identification, etc...
Most high pressure lines are braided. Some with high tensile fibers like nylon, spectra, or kevlar. Others use metal. There are also various braid styles or even multiple braided layers that can change pressure ratings and flexibility.
Primary benefits for us is better lever feel and easier modulation. Ultimate braking force is unaffected unless the old lines were REALLY bad.
