78 gs1000e brake lines

I have a 78 gs1000e with the original brake lines front and rear. 36 years seems like a long time so, cyclebrakes.com sells front lines for an 82 gs1000e, will these fit? Also, what can I do about the rear line?
 
Some OEM lines are still available. Most folks have them made or do them themselves. Search feature and youll find many threads on the subject. try things like home made brake lines, etc etc.
 
Heres some cross referenced info. Use these as a search material in finding whats compatable. Although the rear one is model specific according to the charts, I suspect someone knows of one that will transplant.

Thanks for the responses. I see that the front lines are still available from Suzuki for about $100. The back one is discontinued. Many posts on this forum speak about the improved feel in switching to braided stainless lines. Is this compared to new rubber lines or just compared to old rubber?
 
Not worth buying new rubber line, unless you want the 100% stock look. $107 shipped to my door, all the front and all the back, crush washers included. Good guy to deal with, he's also got stuff on ebay. If you don't see what you need, just call him. Rennsport - http://www.rennsportautoparts.com/
 
Just order some stainless steel lines. Much better brake feel, last forever.
 
I changed to SS brake lines on one of my bikes and did not notice any difference in braking. With that said, the nice custom made brake lines from Rennsport not only look better but they even cost LESS than new ones from Suzuki.
It is a no brainer.
