I was racing an FZR600 last year and had an Alloy banjo bolt fail entering
Gerrards at Mallory, shortly after Goodridge issued a recall on all Alloy
Brake bolts, Stick to steel, they are too important to take risks with.

Yes. And yes. The only down-side is that the response is so good now
that I can feel a slight wave in one of the discs - the old rubber
lines
must have been absorbing the "pulsing" by flexing.
BTW: Get Steel-braided brake hoses, not aluminium alloy ones. The
alloy
ones look extremely cool, but turn to a white fur at the slightest
hint
of rain :-)
