As an interesting post-script to this string I was just in the middle of flushing the front brake lines on my 1100E. Having the usual troubles with bleeding the a/d I thought 'what the heck' and eliminated it with a couple of M10 bolts.

Brake feel is MUCH improved over stock, even with non-braided lines. The line flush was brough on by the addition of a new GSXR master cylinder but so far it's better than I ever remembered it...

When I first resurrected my GS last year, I rode it for a weekend and had spongy brakes. I replaced the brake fuid and it would stop me plenty quick with just two fingers. I read somewhere on the forum that you should replace your brake fluid every two years. If this is followed I believe that most of the spongy dissappears.
