Retail is 3X higher, looking at $20 vs $60.
Manufacturers at the low end only care about a bike lasting 12 months. Same crap warranties since the 70s.

Maybe it's me, but through my time i've never felt the need for SS lines on any bike - maybe i just don't ride hard enough or have to push braking thresholds on the daily?
Reaping benefits means to me that it's worth the money.
in my time riding, i've never felt i needed more stopping power or sensitivity where it wouldrequire a difference in line materials.
(car) racing, yes. Street motorcycling, nope...

Quite possibly true... who knows. Right now bike is setup the way i like (no more mods to add) so perhaps some rotors and lines may be in the future (if i can set aside burnable money)...
oem rubber is supposed to be changed every 4 years as per manual. ss lines last forever.

bleed the master, you might as well redo the fluid. seems like you have air in the system.
also when you get home get a rag put around your throttle then get a big zip tie or string...pull the lever in all the way and tie it back overnight.
undo the brake fluid cap and lift up a bit (put sticker to remind yourself to seal it back)
now your brakes will be solid

That seems incorrect.
Mostly pads.
Ya sure.

Pads would be 3/3 on that list as far as benefits go IMO

I have ss lines they are as soft as my rubber lines. It had a lot to do with where you set up up "engage" point on the lever
Adjust the screw and play with it
2 mechanics what worked
On my brakes always leave a little soft initial give. Incase you grab a fist full in panic. You have a split second to relax before you lock up
Its a preference thing. I cant do with brakes that bite hard right from the first engagement

You know the brake is on the right side, right?

Lol yeah. I am talking about the adjustable lever position...
"If i was educated, I'd be a damn fool"
Um yeah, adjusters change the distance of the lever from the bar...doesn't change engagement point or create "give"
You either have air in your lines or you're talking about your clutch lever dude

I find that if my brake lever is adjust to the tightest position its easier for me to get a lot of brake (too much) real fast. So i thought if closer it would engage faster.
The outer position seems not like that.
But maybe u are right about the air in the lines.
I will bleed and flush
