As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

77 GS550 Brake line question

I'm looking switch out my old 77 GS550 brake line on my current rebuild. I am switching out to a smaller custom Master Cyl. My question is this... Would there be any reason why I couldn't switch to a single brake line and do away with the two separate lines connected by the joint? I mean as long as the banjos are correct there shouldn't be an issue? Should there? I can't really find any info as to the Suzuki setup vs a single brake line. So I'm a little lost here.
thanks
 
You certainly can do it. I did this with my '78 550 with no problems. The junction on the bottom triple clamp appears to be simply a manufacturing convenience to allow either single and dual front brakes, and it isn't necessary if you have only one brake.

Agree! One line is cleaner, simpler, more reliable, and cheaper.
