    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What did you guys use for brake lines? Ill be using a superbike bar and one inch risers. Will stock lines for gs work? Thanks in advance
 
I use some old stainless lines (two lines of equal length) that I had when bike was stock. They are a little long but still work. You can hide some of the length behind the head light.

I am using first gen gixxer brakes, and they have a thread in brake line to the caliper.. Dunno if I can change that or not, as I am not excited about having to buy ALL NEW lines again after just installing SS lines on the stock stuff this spring..
 
I have a set of Bandit's that appear to fit well, don't have them on the bike yet...
 
I imagine that making your own stainless steel lines would probably be the easiest route. If you're going to take on a GSXR suspension/brake conversion, making those lines will be cake.
 
I've got a set of lines that were meant for some early GSXR. They were a little tight when I had bars mounted above the triple, now they are a little long with clipons. I might pick up some new fittings and shorten them to fit better.

Regular lines will work on those with banjo bolts. Your stock style stainless will bolt right up. I've got those same calipers.
 
I've got a set of Galfers (two line style, one to each side) i got off ebay from an '01 gsxr 750.

GS lines will be too short from the splitter to the master. Just replace with a longer one. IF you replace the master be aware of the diff of orientaion where the line exits the master. YOu have to get the right fitting orientation or they won't fit.
