Brake Lines

Does anyone have any experience with dual front brake lines (dedicated single lines from master cylinder to caliper) vs stock set-up? I know the Galfer lines use the same single/ crossover set-up as the stock, but some other aftermarket suppliers use two dedicated lines. Any performance pros/ cons with either set-up?

I went with those on my bud's 81 'wing, the stock crossover on that bike was notoriously hard to bleed...like, nearly impossible...
They went on easy, were easy to bleed, and performed well.

The Galfer lines use A crossover but not the same as OEM. I've had no problems with the Galfer set up. It's easy to bleed and the pads wear evenly.

The only thing that worried me about the dual lines setup was the longer banjo bolt at the mastercylinder seems a bit weak for my taste, and I have heard of them breaking a bit easier when installing but other than that I like the idea of the 2 lines. I guess just be REAL carefull and do not over tighten.
