    GS650E vs GS650G Rear Brake Hose Length

    Anyone know the length difference between the rear brake hose on these bikes? I found a complete set of stainless hoses for the 650G and the front part numbers were the same but rears were different.

    650G: 69480-34201
    650E: 69480-34503

    The shaft drive has different rear master cylinder (and mounting ) ,so hose length is bound to be different. But might work - feel lucky?

      I can neither confirm nor deny the length difference, but if they have different part numbers, it's pretty much a given that they are not interchangeable, as Suzuki was known for parts bin engineering.

      You could build your own if you are handy enough. Sell the "G" line to fund the build.

        Yeah, I'm probably going to pick it up and see if it fits. Not going to hurt, it will be nice to at least have the fronts pre-made. Who knows, maybe the G line will fit. If someone with a G could measure, that would be even better

          Stainless line for the back, or rubber?

          If it doesn't fit, and you end up selling, I'd be interested.

          I'm nowhere near the motorcycle through the day today, so if nobody posts a number, I'll stick a piece of string on the brake line when I get home, along with a couple of photographs with it's placement and the fittings.

            Black stainless is what I'll end up with. Hopefully buy them within the next few weeks but funds are a little tight with the roommate moving out... (oh and girlfriend moving in...)

            I would very much appreciate measurements if you find some time to check it

              Ended up running a sh*t-tonne of errands getting ready for a trip. I'll try to get those numbers for you when I'm pulling the climbing gear out of storage.

              Black is nice. I prefer it as it doesn't stand out as much as the ones with the colourless sleeves.
