It seems we have some choices on where to get brake lines.
1.There is this post from Rob Chapman on source from Australia for $225
USD.
2. There is Thomas Keyworth's Lake-Tech site
http://www.lake-tech.de/GTS/English/Prices_US/prices_us.html for
superbike bars with SS lines (front only) for $151 usd or $399 with
bars.
3. There is Spiegler brake systems http://www.spieglerusa.com/ in
Germany
who said they would make a set for the GTS w/ ABS if I or someone sends
them the lines to copy, but their price would be $250-$300 for Frt, rear
& clutch.
I got a reply from Matthias Schaub there who said he rode the GTS w/ ABS
back in 1993.
so any comments from anyone before I start flipping coins?
I kind of like the Australian option of carbon and the Spiegler stuff
looks of very high quality.

Subject: hose lengths
While back someone asked for hose lengths. It happens I saved my old
ones
when I had them replaced when the HU was replaced. I intended to get
stainless ones made sometime, haven't done it yet.
I do not believe this information will be useful without a set for your
hosemaker guy to match the ends to. If someone gets serious about this
I
can probably photograph each hose & each end (3/hose) with appropriate
scale
included. If someone wants to get REALLY serious & line up someone who
would make sets available to anyone on the list I would contribute mine
as
patterns.
These lengths are banjo center to banjo center OR end of thread to end
of
thread OR end of thread to banjo center. The angle was estimated, not
measured.
12 1/8" springwound one end straight Banjo, one end 30 degree angled
Banjo
10 1/4" Straight femail thread both ends, two rubber grommets
9" one end 30 degree angled Banjo, one end straight female threads
22 3/4" one end straight female threads, one end straight Banjo, 2
grommets,
1/2 spring wound
36" One end straight female threads, one end 30 degree angled banjo, 4
grommets, spring wound
5 3/8" one end straight female thread, one end long curved Banjo
26 3/8" both ends have long, curved Banjos - Not the same shape
6" one end straight female thread, one end long curved Banjo
For any of you contemplating this, the service tech that replaced mine
told
me "If you ever want this done again, take it someplace else." Not his
idea
of a fun job.
