Advice on new brake lines
 
I got some Galfer SS lines for Christmas. Anything in particular I need to know about this mod?

Bleed out the old fluid first. Lots and lots of bleeding after wards. Bleed the master cylinder as well.

Buy some speed bleeders. It will save you a tone of time.

Brake bleeder is great. I am a worry wort so I did the old method too after I got fluid in the lines. Use Belray fluid, way better then galifer. Swith about 3 months ago.

Go ahead and replace your pads with some HH pads while you are at it.

You can get SS kits that come with the pads for pretty cheap at indysuperbikes.com

Is there a shelf life on fluid? I bought some last September....never opened it. It's been sitting in my unheated shed since September. It will be ok right?

Its good to go. If not opened. However, if its DOT 5 its good regardless.
