I dunno if I'd use Galfer lines again. I put their SS lines on my 91
back in about 97. Shortly thereafter I moved and life conspired against
me riding for several years. Shortly after I returned to riding, one
of the lines failed. While they were probably 7 years old at the time,
they could not have had more than 5000 miles of use on them. The bike
was always stored in a garage that kept moderate temperatures throughout
the year. The much older OEM rear line is fine.

The leak occurred at the line/fitting junction, so I do not think the
line itself was to blame - but rather Galfer's manufacturing of the
whole part (line + fittings).

Just one data point.

FWIW,

I just replaced my stock OEM rotors with Galfer waves, bought them from sumofallparts on e-bay for $551.00 for front pair and $99.00 for rear. Did the Galfer pads ( 62.99 ) and 11 line stainless front ( $ 418.00 ) but not the rear. Prices are cheaper than the group buy price offered by quite a bit. Check it out yourself, click on the buy it now price for the group buy and then check here at e-bay buy it now.

Just my .02 worth.

Thanks JayBee, but I quite a bit ANTI _EBay these days.
A couple of months back I won an auction for several boxed sets of
DVD's as a present for my wife (big Buffy fan).
It turned out in the end that just about every statement in the
auction was false.
the DVD's were supposed to still be sealed and new, (they were not,
several had lots of fingerprints).
They were supposed to be the US market set with collectors edition
case with mounted sleeves, (it was a UK box with loose sleeves, fewer
disks missing several special features).
The auction said the items were here in the US, but they were shipped
from Hong Kong.
They took nearly 6 weeks to arrive.
The Seller never answered my emails,

And EBay as well as paypal pretty much ignored my complaints.

The final kicker was about two weeks ago, I get a "favorite sellers"
message from ebay that show that this prick is selling another set of
the DVD's with a complete carbon copy of the last auction. I posted a
message to ebay complaining and they had gall to ask me for proof
when I had included the original complaint number and copy of it in
the message. They have not pulled this guys account nor have they
done anything else.

Well...to me it was irrelevant, because the cost of labor/time exceeded
the cost of the line (even if I had been doing the work myself).

IMO, there's no excuse for a "high quality" braided steel line to fail
within the expected lifespan a motorcycle. Certainly not in the
favorable conditions in which this particular part operated.

I realize I'm being a little harsh...but I'll be looking elsewhere
next time. A free replacement line would be little consolation
if the failure had resulted in wrapping myself around a tree.
Fortunately, it only resulted in a near-heart-attack.
