Brake line interchangeability??

Does anyone know if brake lines for 95-03 will fit an 06? bikebandit shows different part numbers, but I'm not sure if lengths changed. I know the 89 lines were shorter, maybe they added more length for the fair'd models as well?  :dunno_white:

I'm searching for a set of front and rear SS lines. HEL's site isn't working for me, and i stumbled on these:

HEL Brake Lines For Suzuki GS500 ES - K2 (1995-2003) - Standard Layout

The seller has awesome feedback and has already confirmed he can do black lines with black banjo's which is what i'm after. Just want to be 100% sure these will fit.

When I get home tomorrow I'll check the length on my 97 versus the 07.

that would be greatly appreciated Kijona!!!

since the part number also changed from 04->06's, i'll measure my 2004's lines as well.

I have these guys make em..... $22 !

No black ends but...... $22 !!

They'll do any length which is nice for custom stuff or when "off the shelf" lines aren't available.












Oh and they do blue....... hmmmmm..... if I only had a sweet blue brake rotor to match  :cool:

the price is small big the image is HUGE!!! haha and there's only one reason that rotors not in yer hands right now :icon_lol:

ok, i measured the 2004 lines. The front is exact, the back i had to use a string but is a fairly accurate measurement

2004 gsF brake lines:
Front - 29.5"
Rear - ~31"

Let me know what you get Kijona!

Oh, I didn't get exact measurements - I just compared front brake lines and for all intents and purposes, they're exactly the same length on my 07 versus my 97/98.  :dunno_black: I can re-measure tomorrow the back and get precise measurements if you like.

For both, I'd say it's more or less about 29"...so? I don't see any reason why the back would be different - they're exactly the same on both bikes, right?

sounds great!! thanks for helping out mang.

OK, fronts match for sure! still not 100% on rears.. but as you said they're exactly the same bikes. i don't know of anything else that has changed on the rear :dunno_white:

so i will be placing an order for black on black front and rear SS lines. I will update this post when parts arrive.

Thanks again!

No problem dude! Glad I could be of assistance. ;) And no, everything from the rear is the same just by eyeballing it. I doubt they've changed anything.
