    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.

trying to order SS lines, need all lengths and fittings for my bike.
wouldn't be posting this if I could do it myself (bike is in NY- I am in CA) or if I found it in search.

thanks for help!

Please??

all these SS swaps and no one recorded what they changed out? :-k
 
Haven't changed my lines yet, so no need to measure.

Just a thought, ...I am in NY, I can stop by and measure your lines for you. :-k

i appreciate that, but the bike is on the border of porter corners and corinth (15-20 mins north of toga)
wouldn't expect you to drive all the way up there. i'll be home on the 10th, lets meet up at jitters or something

The proper brake line length depends on what handlebars the bike is wearing.
 
I dont think anyone here wants to be responsable for your lines not being correct.

well played, sir.

Figured someone with stock set up would chime in, or see what different/same lengths different users have.

If that's where the bike is, I won't be going "up there" to see it. :-\\\

I would be going "over there" or even "down there" to get to it. :p

I'm in Glens Falls. :D


Besides, if it's anywhere near your parent's restaurant, I'm supposed to be going down there some time, but I need a reminder of the name and location.

oh, right! d'oh! you're closer than I thought.
Jitters Cafe
418 geyser Rd Ballston Spa
(6-7 mins from downtown 'toga or ex.13n)
My Mothers name is Gina (Mommah G, GG, etc) and she's the best. She'd be psyched if you stopped in and told her why you're there!
I'm trying to get a GS meet/ride in the plaza where her cafe is... It's the perfect spot.

If you order Earl's parts you can easily custom make yourself a set of lines without trusting someone else to measure for you.
 
I sent him a PM asking if he wanted to stop by and measure the lines on my '81 GS850G as he is only about 40-60 minutes away... :confused:

I would do that, if I wasn't 3,500 miles from my bike, and could measure everything.
I think I'll just wait until I get home to my bike and wait for shipping. My rubber lines are good still, just want SS upgrade.

Daniel- I would like to come see your bikes (and by see I of course mean take a ride up to Mt Rose!) if I'm in Reno before flying to Oregon on the 5th and then back to NY the 10th.

Have you checked out the post about the Earl's lines? Trust me, order the recommended sizing in that post maybe increased by a foot, all the parts, and put it together when it gets there. You won't be disappointed.

I've searched for it and am not having any luck, that would help a lot.
