Anyone else out there have a problem with you braded brake lines discorored?
My left one on my SESG is all brown instead of silver and the right one looks like it's starting to discolor.

Yep, heat and age turns them brown. Always been that way, my '01 with aftermarket lines did it, my 05 SEEG did it and now my SERG is doing it as well.

Thanks for the reply.
I have extended warranty and checked at my local dealer-He said the warranty would cover it and ordered 2 new lines

I just noticed that my brake lines are discolored. 
Is this normal or do I have a problem? :confused5:

Hmmmn

Looks my dealer is ordering a brake line soon, too.  I thought it was due to a leaky left fork seal.   :(

 Love this place!

I was just wondering if this is normal, or if it's caused by fluid leakage.
I guess I'll have to check elsewhere.
