old gs,

yes, get stainless lines. they will (if you put them together yourself) cost less than oem. there is a "homemade brakelines video" link here, if you search, that is pretty good, also a tutorial on mr bwringers site, which i link to from mr basscliff's site that will help too. super easy. yes, you will need new banjos, you can get it all through earls. i "think" there is an extra long banjo bolt that lets you run 2 banjos directly from the front m/c, thus eliminating the splitter....i am sure i saw that, maybe on bwringers site, im not sure, but somewhere. this also gets 2 banjos out of your system, bringing the cost down a little.

Greg,

As ever, thanks for the advice. I found that tutorial and will definitely try to craft my own lines. If I can elminate a couple of banjos, I might give that a try as well. Cost is becoming a factor, but so far my wife has not asked me to tally this up. Whew!

Don,

You need CBR F3 disks. You need a spacer, seems Jeff is going to try using a wheel spacer from a spoked GS1000, I've had some made up (but they forgot the 56mm centre hole...)

I won't have new ones till September sometime... so am unlikely to be able to test these till end of September ish.

If you want a couple of the spacers I have with no centre hole you're welcome to them. You'd have to put it in or get it put in yourself.

Alternatively as it's you... I could give you the CAD drawing & you could get them made up locally. If you start making for the Aussie's you owe me a license fee

Personally I think the single sided one will look pretty cool... be perfect on a cafe project!

Cheers,

Dan

Well, I will say that I dont have the stomache for the experimenting anymore on the cafe...ive added and rid and added stuff time and time again..so on THIS one, im waiting for you guys to hash out the details, and wait for you Dan to sell the needed spacers, etc. I will hunt up some CBR rotors, as I'll want to do this on the cafe AND the 1100ES when it gets here....cant wait...Say...you keep making up these metal bits, and we'll have to change your name to Steely Dan (a fav group of mine might I add)

Thanks Dan. What diameter are the discs.

P.S. Job finished. Fitted stainless lines last night and bled system..

See Jeff's Ninja post in performance mods. just added some pics of finished article.

Not real happy about the bend in the speedo cable though. Might have to work on that a bit.

Thanks for all your help. Would never have got it done without your help and advice.
Also Jeff all this was your original idea and you kickstarted us all off and got us thinking on this line. Well done.

Dan my email address is in my profile. Cheers.

If the CAD drawing shows the dimensions for the spacer I will get some made up at the club and try them out as well.

Yes I can either send you AutoCAD or as a PDF, up to you.... I'll be testing them mid September.

Your setup looks great now it's finished.

Those CBR rotors are approx the same as the 550's. About 294 - 296mm Can't remember exactly which from memory.

Hi Dan. Thanks. Yes PDF would be best thanks.

I will be looking forward to the results of your testing in mid September.

hey, brakes are a safety issue. my wife gave me carte blanche to spend what i needed to spend on fixing the brakes. now i gotta convince her that a new sv650 is needed for my own safety....
