    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...

    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.

GS1000S Front Brake Hose Length

I've put drag bars on my GS1000G. Now I'm getting ready to have new brake lines made up for it.

Anyone happen to know the length difference of the front brake line from a G model to an S model? I want a shorter line made up so that I don't have the extra hose looped around the headlight bucket.

Thanks

From master Cylinder to junction under the head lamp? Or why not just two lines running from master cylinder to calipers. Some prefer it that way (me) but can always ask for a vote here what others prefer and why. My E top line is around 55cm and a little less would be nice. All depends on how high your bars rise up and there width. My S is too tucked away behind fairing and stuff to measure. sorry
 
I prefer one down to the right caliper (about 28" from memory) and then a loop over the mudguard to the left caliper (about 18" from memory).

It's pretty easy to measure. :)
 
Thank you both. I never would have thought about either of those options. I'm curious what the junctions look like in both of those scenarios. If you don't mind posting a picture of those I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again.
