So......whats the front like?  :D

When this thread is through I'll have replaced every part of my bike, none of the parts it came with will be left  :icon_lol:

I checked the front rotor and it seems fine. There are maybe some slight grooves, but they're only visible in the way light reflects off of them, I can't feel them with my finger the way I can on the rear disc. There's also a lot of brake pad left up front, whereas I noticed that the wear line had disappeared on the rear pads. I know it's not good to leave it that way, but I thought maybe I just wasn't seeing the wear line when I checked it before. So I'm gonna leave the front rotor alone for now, maybe consider changing it when it's time for new front pads. I guess the PO tended to use all rear brake and no front.

By the way, if I want to change the brake fluid and hoses while I'm at it, will I be good with 30" front and 28" rear hose? If I go stainless do I need to buy anything else, like new banjo bolts? I'll probably wait a bit on this though, as I'm considering installing handlebar risers, in which case I assume I'd need a longer front hose. Don't want to spring for a stainless front hose only to have to replace it in a couple months when I put in the risers.
