Brake Lines first time GS750

Brake Lines first time.



Hi all.
I think it’s time to replace my brake lines. They are 36 years old.

Can any of you recommend a good place to get a full set and suggestions for additional parts I may need?
1979 GS-750 (spoke wheels, single caliper front and rear).
I already had the shop rebuild front and rear calipers.
I was thinking about going color matched Stainless steel set.

Thanks

I like to build my own lines from Earl's components. There is a long thread here where people have shared their experiences doing same.

If you aren't so inclined to DIY, there are dozens of reputable sources of premade lines. Z1 Enterprises sell Goodrich parts, and Rensport (or something like this) is very popular with the GSR crowd. Both have a good reputation.

One caution is to make sure you get the proper lengths and angles on the hose ends. This is doubly important if your bike has aftermarket handlebars. Making your own lines allows you to fully customize the install, which is one of the reasons I like to go this way.

Good luck
