    Have a look here if you want to order from these guys...

    Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.

      Just finished installing new Apex lines from Rennsport. Perfect fit for an easy job. I don't think you could make your own much cheaper than this. The quality, service and shipping are excellent. The double banjos are extra, but you can always use the old ones.

        I ordered a full set of lines, front and rear, for my 80' 1000G last week from Rennsport. $104, shipping, taxes everything. Hard to beat that kind of pricing.

            http://www.z1enterprises.com/ do Goodridge ones that are reasonable & work out about $40 a line or so.

            I use a long line from master to right side caliper & then a short loop over the fender. Double banjo in the Right hand caliper. That's the cheapest & neatest 2 line setup....

              Hi,

              I don't know what happened to the video on ANplumbing.com's website, but there are lots of Youtube videos on how to assemble AN hoses and fittings.

              Like this one:



              The rest of the brake info on my site is still valid. I used the Goodridge lines and fittings from Z1Enterprises.com for my brake line upgrade.


              Thank you for your indulgence,

              BassCliff

                AN fittings

                Mr. Cliff thanks for the link on the AN fittings but I don't they would pass saftey inspection on the brake system, in my state. And the price of a good metric crimper would price me out of making them too. I have spent alot of hours looking through your website and it has been a great help.thanks for all the work you put into it.

                      I'll put my 2 cents in for Apex. Well made and inexpensive at about 1/2 the price of locally made. Fast and courteous service. Raymond is a real gentleman and will go out of his way to set you up. I don't think you would be dissapointed at all.

                      I'm going to have him do a set for the FZ I'll be picking up next week. He's definitely my supplier of choice.

                      Cheers,

                        I ordered a new rear brake line at 11 p.m. last night from Rennsport and had a personal reply in my email before midnight claiming that the item will be in the mail sometime today. For $35 shipped, I'm impressed!

                            Got my lines from Mr. Chan also. Great service and reasonable price, this is the second set I have purchased from him, well pleased with both sets.
