Title: Front SS Brake Line For 2004 GS
Post by: kml.krk on November 23, 2007, 07:31:39 PM
I'm looking for FRONT SS brake line for my 2004 GS and I'm not sure if all SS brake lines fit all years or there are specific ones for specific years  :dunno_white:
can you help me a little and provide with some links to the cheap front SS brake line??
thanks a lot

I just replaced mine a couple of months ago.  I have a '95, but I assume the brake lines are the same.

I measured the lines at 30" front and 28" rear. The banjo fitting on the front caliper had a 30 degree bend. The three others were straight.

I can't tell what the length of the eBay brake line is; I suggest you ask the buyer. I know he said it would fit a GS, but be a "little long". You should probably find out how much to make sure you don't have too much slack. Also make sure you use new crush washers (it looks like those are included in the eBay case).

The only installation hassle I had was getting a torque wrench on the rear caliper. The exhaust can was in the way and I didn't want to remove it just to tighten a single bolt, so I "guessed" at the torque. Either way, this won't affect you if you only replace the front line.

Hope this helps!

Roberto.

.... Very rarely used a torque wrench in my life... I think i have honed hands, i just guess the torque and its usually right if you check it with a torque wrench.
