    Confirmation of brake hose length please.

    I am going to be ordering some SS brake hoses from Z1, I plan to order the following:

    TU03-6051
    Brake Hose 10MM STRAIGHT BANJO FITTING x 5

    TU03-6053
    Brake Hose 10MM 35 DEG BANJO FITTING x 2

    TU03-6055
    Brake Hose 10MM 90 DEG BANJO FITTING x 1

    TU03-6193
    Brake Hose Black Coat 32'' With Chrome Swivels x 1

    TU03-6118
    Brake Hose Stainless Steel 21" Clear Coated x 1

    TU03-6119
    Brake Hose Stainless Steel 22" Clear Coated x 2



    Does that sound right to everyone for a 1983 GS850 GLD ?? They say allow an inch for each banjo fitting. I think the meant ADD not ALLOW??

    My measurements from OEM hoses w/ banjos were:

    34 1/4" rear hose.
    23" front hoses from fitting to calipers
    22" From lever to fitting.

      Guy on ebay selling Galfer kits for about 100 bucks (front, not both), Heil and others get into really big money.

        Call Rob or Jeff & they'll advise but you are close. I went with a two line front setup rather than a 3. Cheaper & supposedly better feel at the lever. Defo an improvement over stock lines.

          I installed brake lines from Z1R on my gs850. I contacted Rob from Z1R for the correct way of measuring the lines. They say measure the original rubber hose from the centre of the banjo bolt hole to the centre of the other banjo bolt hole then minus 2 inches. My hoses fit perfect, Ted
