Title is pretty self explanatory, I was looking forward to some suggestions/advices that anyone could give me about said swap, and if it's doable or wether it has any sense doing it
Also, what's the thread size of the rear brake master cylinder where it connects to the brake hose?

Well... rigid lines are intrinsically more - well - rigid really than flexible lines so they are less likely to expand under the pressure of braking but, bearing in mind the lengths of hose involved on an airhead, I can't see that it'll make any noticeable difference. Any reason for moving away from stock?

Not any particular reason besides style really, or maybe the ease of changing the “path” of said hose if I ever want to add some sort of accessories or mods
