Title: Stainless lines again...
Post by: NiceGuysFinishLast on April 11, 2007, 09:43:19 AM
Since I'm putting so many performance things into my GS, I figure I'll do the lines too... Found these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuki-GS500-stainless-steel-brake-lines-95-97-11-3500_W0QQitemZ170076433599QQcmdZViewItem) on Ebay, just wondering if they'll work with my '89 clipons and my '02 MC/caliper. They say 95-97... I know the brake design changed somewhere in the early years, but I can't think of any distinctions in the 95-97 model years (at least not in the brake system)... anyone? Dgyver?


Oh, and don't buy all 4 of them before I get home from work tonight, PLEASE! :laugh:

The brake pads changed, but the lines will work. You can get a braided line from MAW for $36 shipped.

The lines for any year will work. The lines have not changed.

The maw ones are the cheapest, but I ordered from HEL. They cost more but I really prefer to have normal looking black brake lines and the HEL ones let you pick one of several colors (yes, I chose boring old black). They're $49 each and ship free, so not that much more. Of course when you select the GS500 your only choice is the kit with front and back lines for $98, although the website claims you can buy a single line for $49. No idea how you actually go about doing it though.
