Yep. Less lever travel, better feel. IMO, the front is critical; the rear optional. I have a SS rear line that I never bothered installing.

How much would you expect to pay for stainless lines and what brand would you recommend

Im looking at HEL lines and there about $130 front and $55 rear or somthing

$60 per line is typical. Since the GS500 is a single caliper front, I wouldn't plan to pay more than $120 total.

FWIW, if you're on a budget, I'd avise you to leave the rear stock. $60 is better spent on springs, better front pads, etc. I'd swap in SS on the rear as a maintenance item.

For the rear brakes, the most important adjustment is to set the lever height. Reducing the lever height will tend to reduce the amount of force applied to the rear. Get it low enough that you no longer tend to over-apply the brake.

Make sure the rear is working correctly; not dragging... Not ruined by oil. Clean fluid. Line not about to fail, etc.
