    Good product, great service and reasonable prices, he usually has the spec's for all the GS models on hand.

    I always take mine off, measure and give him the lengths and offsets/angles just to make sure.

    One small nit pick I had was the angles of the connectors, for the GS1000 it needs about 30 degree offset for the front master reservoir, they only have 0 or 45 so not quite right but I made do with the 45 degree offset.

    Maybe they have made changes since I last dealt with them 3 years ago, but will be placing a new order shortly so I will know if they offer the different offsets and the longer double banjo bolts then.

    I'll take a look at mine tomorrow and see what they used.

        Thanks for bringing attention to the banjo bolts. Looks like my double banjo bolts are OK in both sets however the singles are too short. I guess I'm going to email him and see if he can swap them out with some slightly longer ones. Between both sets there are about a dozen bolts and I would like to use the new ones over old. When you have to torque them enough to crush the washers I'm not very comfortable with just 4 threads into aluminum. As far as the ends for the GS1000 set they are 45 deg. on one end and 0 deg. for the 2 caliper lines and the master cylinder line has 15 deg. and 0 deg.

          Take out those three silly washers, it will be just right.

            I just got a set for my GS650E and the single banjos are same as Sandy's, very short.

            I cleaned my old ones up, dipped them in Metal Restore for 24hrs and then used the buffing wheel for a final cleanup, came up nicely and I feel much more comfortable with the extra threads.

              I never did get hold of Raymond about the banjo bolts. I was lucky that the old ones where basically as new on both bikes and just need a quick wipe with a rag and a spritz with some brake cleaner so i used them with the new washers, would have used them even if the new ones where the right length.
