I wanted to give a shoutout to a great supplier that I have been using for the past several years.
Raymond Chan of Apex Brakes can set you up with a full SS brake kit for your GL for 109 USD + shipping. They are great quality brake lines and fit perfectly. He is also very easy to work with, and can do custom work for bikes with non-standard length requirements.

Thanks guys! He doesn't list the GL's in the catalog, but send him an email and he knows exactly the right dimensions for every year. You won't be disappointed if you give these a try.

Re: Apex Brakes: SS brake lines that won't "Brake" the bank
Seems like a very nice deal. Do you they come with a DOT tag on each line?
