    1980 gs550e, single or dual front brakes?

    I'm searching for new brake lines for my 1980 gs550e and I've cought a bit of a snag. Everything I find says my bike should have dual front disc brakes, when the bike only has single. What gives?

    Have you downloaded the service manual yet from Basscliff's site (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff)? According to it, only the European and Australian models of the 550E received dual front brakes, all others got the single front.
