    81 GS1100E brake hoses.

    I'm ready to replace my brake hoses, does anyone have a favorite source?

      Just email him with the year and model of the bike, how many hoses you want, and what color hose and fittings you want. My last set for a '78 GS1000 was $138 shipped for all 4 lines.

      I've used them on 7-8 bikes and always got a good price and delivery. Nice product too!

          Earl's Brake Line Thread - The GSResources Forums
          https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/forum/technical-forums/popular-technical-info/84535-earl-s-brake-line-thread
          The old thread on making brake lines was outdated so this update is offered instead. Earl's parts are made in USA. No Chinese junk here. The pull off force for the bolt together lines is higher than machine crimp lines too so don't worry about failure (as long as you assemble correctly). You can see a video of the assembly

          To measure is to know.

              This took some searching because it's listed as GSX. I had previously found some for my Laverda, and the prices are good, $109 plus free shipping for the GS ain't bad at all, IMO. The MogoGPwerks shop is amazing, I may have to go up and have another gander at all the goodies and bikes there.

                  Looks to me like that is the front brake line kit only. Looks like the complete set is $149, which isn't too bad I guess.

                      Correct, it's just the front for that price.

                              Heads up, I've ordered two things from Patriot Racing in the last year or so (a valve cover gasket and a set of brakelines for my 650G). For whatever reason, despite being listed as in stock, and despite me knowing my card is functional, both orders were cancelled and refunded within a day of me placing them. The first time I figured I'd ordered something NLA. The second time, I don't know. I got a full refund and haven't followed for a "why", but just be aware what they still sell might be a subset of what they have listed. Or my card is on a blacklist somewhere, though I can't think of any reason why.
