I have one of them on the rear of my 97 and they are nice. For the front, i just run a modern style kawi brake line and do the 'Honda routing". Google it for your older kaw. The braided line olus that will make your front brake feel much better. If you want real nice stopping power up front, install a 270mm or 280mm rotor kit!

And if you want a better front brake again , try the master cylinder of a kx450 19 and on wards models , they do make a differance and are easier to bleed as well.
