That said, a stainless steel brake line is a heckuva an improvement alone in my experience, so that's where I'd start. My favorite is Core Moto brand. Website:

I have Galfer and Core Moto lines and prefer the latter (I think Motostuff's lines are made by Core Moto).
Since your model/year CRF has an awesome, relatively new differential piston caliper design (27mm leading edge, 30mm rear), you should be set there + the Nissin master cylinder is top notch, too. I wouldn't dabble with the Ride Engineering V2 or the Motostuff V2 calipers for this reason.
Lastly, the ARC Powerlever brake lever with different leverage ratios doesn't get enough discussion in my opinion. It's amazeballs and will let you fine tune your lever feel. Really nice product.

I'm not complaining about my brakes, but my curiosity has me wondering if I'd benefit from any of the above. I ordered front and rear lines today. If I don't feel anything from that change, maybe I'll do the 280. I don't think I'll ever spring for the fancy master cylinders tho lol.. I'm of the variety where if I'm spending money not out of necessity, I'm only going to if it's a sure benefit. For instance, triple clamps are sick, but I haven't heard someone who's not being paid tell me they feel a very positive difference..
I am sure you'll notice a difference and what you think of that will steer you to your next experiment, if any.

I've only been bleeding brake lines the old school way for 26 years... Lol
