So on the Z1 Enterprises website, I found this basic banjo thread pitch guide for "most Suzuki models" - this is relevant for brake upgrades, although with their year breakdowns, I highly doubt a 1989 vs 1994 vs 1998 GS500 caliper are going to be different sizes, same as other models that used our popular"twinpot brake mod" Tokico calipers.
Goodridge Fitting Guide - some models do vary- but most adhere to the following:
*Honda All Models 10mm x 1.25
*Kawasaki All Models 10mm x 1.25
*Suzuki Pre 1994 Models: Whole Bike: 10mm x 1.0.
*1994-2001 Models: Front Calipers 10mm x 1.25
*1994-2001 Models: Front Master Cylinder 10mm x 1.0.
*1994-2001 Models: Rear Master Cylinder and Rear Caliper 10mm x 1.0.
*2002- On: Whole Bike 10mm x1.25.
*Yamaha All Models 10mm x 1.25
And I did have better luck searching for the proper
0.420" height lightened/concave head stainless double banjo bolt for the popular GS "Twinpot brake mod" parts in the M10-1.25 using Google image search and Google shopping.
Several sellers listing these all as being solely for:
"M10 x 1.25 Dual Banjo Bolt For Yamaha V-Star XVS 250 650 950 1100 1300"
The concave heads are both lighter weight, & make drilling for safety wire MUCH EASIER. But in stainless, you must drill ever so slowly! It'll work harden significantly with high drilling speed/heat. I found several Titanium double banjos of this variety, already drilled for safety wire, but could not visually confirm that they were the correct fitting height.
Better yet, if needing lightest/strongest corrosion-resistant (TITANIUM!), & pre-drilled for racing regulation required safety wire, these sport bike guys have been very considerate & thorough in their advertising/customer service (& I recall them being local to me in Ohio):
