Kawasaki.com lists the brake hose lengths on some models, such as the 81 650-CSR & 84 GPz1100.
I do not know if their measurements are eye-to-eye or what.

IF people want to sell parts they should have a price for the set. I shouldnt have to go look at what I have to get. If i do I will make my own much cheaper. Ok i am on a rant

Try apexbrakes.com/
I've ordered lines from him many times. Just placed an order yesterday for two bikes. You just measure your lines, look at the fittings and contact him. Make sure and let him know the make, model and year of your bike.

If you have lower handlebars then you might want a shorter brake line.

Here are the various fittings he carries apexbrakes.com/custom.asp

Prices are about $24 per line. So if you have two lines for a front disc brake you're looking at about $50 plus another $10 or so for shipping.

Agree!

Doubt peter would be satisfied with them though. You can't open the box and have them jump out and install themselves. :silly:

Brake line length is very easy to determine. I use a length of TV coax cable which easily bends and twist to get the right length and sag. Been buying my lines for my earlier classic bikes thru Galfer on their Custom work sheet. There are many options for Colors too.
