Just ordered one. Stock lines for stock bars are 29", #3 fittings, and i did a 45 degree offset, but i dont think it really matters.

$34.90 shipped per line. Feedback seems to indicate quality lines. I will report back when I get em in and my bike back together and running.

oooo def. keep us up to date on how it goes.

Keep us posted.....SS braided lines would be a HUGE help with these front brakes.  I put HEL lines on my last Suzuki DRZ 400sm and they were a really big improvement.

So I ordered these at on a Sunday at 8 pm. He promptly got back too me and asked a question concerning my configuration (there were 2 ways he could have done it based on my specs). I replied pretty quickly, and at 10 pm he sent me my tracking number. Wow. Can't wait to try these out.

and is it worth to replace the rear brake line? The rear locks pretty easily as is...

Rear, over kill, front, only 30% overkill so we need to do that ... The feel is better, not neccesarily actual braking power unless you have the worlds stickiest tire and on a clean smooth road.
Cool.
Buddha.

Just don't lock up the back and end up in a lowside.  Or worse, lock the front and end up in fast lowside or a highside!

Resurrecting this topic.  How did those brake lines work out?  I'm looking to order some.

This.

I got a custom length front brake line, with the stock fittings (one straight, one 15 degree). Pretty simple install, though I did have to use a hand vacuum pump to fill/bleed the lines the first time. Definitely a noticeable improvement over stock bulgy hoses, plus mine is blue to match my bike. It comes with copper washers and banjo bolts too.

What did you have to specify for the order, or do they already know what to do for a 93 GS?

Specify length, angle/type of fittings (#3), and orientation of fittings.

And what length did you specify?

The words cheap and brake should never be used in the same sentence.

It's only safety after all.

I got the same set for my 500F, front and rear.  Seller was quick to ship and the quality is very good.  Makes a great improvement in braking.

They are only cheap because its one guy in Canada who has made an ebay business selling high quality brake lines that he makes in his garage. From a materials stand point, it costs practically nothing. There is no reason the brand name ones should cost $70+, except they are brand name. We are talking brand name drug vs. generic. Same drug, one is a fraction of the price. No brainer. I'm still alive, they feel great.

Wanna know why they cost 70 bones and upwards??

Because they are carefully designed to conform and meet with recognised standards...such as these..

And they are manufactured in factories that use quality control and testing procedures, with calibrated tooling from traceable materials by companies that carry liabilty insurances.

The man in the garage makes a nod towards quality but has he got the paperwork to back it all up?.......I doubt it

I put a set on my Kawasaki ZG1000 5 years ago.  It's a heavy bike and I do a lot of hard braking.   Haven't had one problem.
All I know is they work.

I honestly don't believe that every brake line that comes out of a large scale factory is tested. I feel much more confident in my line. I know for a fact that the man in the garage tested the line to 3000 psi like it says on the ebay page. He probably does not have a massive insurance plan, so he probably makes damn well sure that his lines are up to spec.

After placing my order he promptly sent me a message saying he will have the line completed and shipped by the next day. Quality product, quality service, great price.

for the newbs (such as myself) would you please quantify exactly what is improved when doing this?
and how much is "noticeable"?
