New brake line recommendation please...

[keman]

Looking to replace the brake lines on my 1980 GS850G.

Good quality, good price.

Looking for ready made pull and replace.

I have been looking around the internet and find all sorts of lines for all sorts of prices, so I thought I would ask to see what to avoid, and what to buy...

Suggestions please. Links to sellers would be cool.

I ordered Goodridge quick-connect lines from Z1.

All you do is select the length lines you need, and order the quick-connect Banjos to match.

The lines already have a Nut attached to each end, so you just screw em onto the goodridge banjos....plug and play...NO crimping.

I kept the stock T-splitter setup...just plugged up the new lines.
I prefer that older look....

Think I spent around $115 for the front Lines, Banjos and new Washers....didn't bother ordering new banjo bolts.

Stopping power is Awesome now

Consider Paragon brake lines, they make specific front/rear kits for common bikes like my '82 850G. You can order them in a black shade so they look like the originals if you don't like shiny bling. Goodridges work well too, they're pretty easy to put together.

Thank you. For some reason, every time I attempt to search on this site I get errors. I do try to search before I ask.

This is a wonderful suggestion and works for most searchable items on this forum, but, unfortunately, only works if the item you want is actually in the title.

How many times have you seen a title that says "Brake Problems", then goes on to ask how to find a source for braided lines? That thread will not be returned in the search.

So please remember to be descriptive with your thread titles.

By the way, the title of this thread is PERFECT.

I just ordered a line from Rennsports(they are on ebay) in Canada, $33 for the line with shipping. Should be here this week I think, I will post a pic and a bit of a review once it's on.
