    brake discs

    is there any discs i can get for a 82gs650gl, mine got rust on them and stuff ill take pics but was wondering if theres better ones or a good way to clean these. also what size are my brake lines to connect to the master cylinder and caliper, i dont know the name of the part thing its a nipple or something. any good aftermarket rear master cylinders that fit on easy for my bike aswell, theres a $10 one on there now need a good one.

    also are the front and rear brake pads the same size

    If the ones you have are still within spec you could ship them to a place like this to be resurfaced.



    Look into stainless steel lines that come with the connection to the master cylinder (banjo bolts). I got my stainless brake lines from RenSport. Just called and told them what bike I had and they made the lines for me, but if you don't have stock parts the length may change a bit. There are lots of posts on where to get them, or if you prefer how to make your own brake lines.

    Brake pads are different on the front and rear. Check the part numbers on the fiche for the correct number and shop for new pads. EBC are good quality. Semi sintered seem to do the job very well.


    Hope this helps.

        Make sure you get a digital caliper and measure the thickness of the rotors. That may be helpful to post along with the pics.
