    GS450L Brake lines

    I'd like to change out my brake line to a stainless line. Old Bike Barn lists stainless brake line for the '85 GS450E but not for the 450L. Does anyone know if both models take the same brake line? If not, does anyone know where I can get a stainless line for the L model?

    Thx!!

    Dunno, but you can always just measure the old one and order the line based on the measurements.

      That's a thought. I assume the fittings on the ends are standardized.

        Nope, not really! But when you get to the ordering stage, you'll see that there are lots and lots of options, so just choose the ones that match the ones you have.

          L model brake lines are likely longer since the handlebars are longer. Be careful ordering unless you can varify the length you need.

          To measure is to know.

            Thanks! I'm going to measure the length today.
