I finally realized the 2007 DL650 I picked up has the bigger TOKICO calipers on the front. If I wanted to change out the brake lines, do I still get lines for a 2007 DL650 or are they different? I haven’t removed either caliper so I also assume the pads are different from the OEM calipers. Does anyone know what pads are used in these calipers? Thanks!

Those calipers were the same model on MANY different models and brands. My Tokico 4 piston calipers I installed on my 2012 650 are straight off an SV 1000 for instance. The ones off the CBR/GSXR sport bikes are often used and may be the same exact caliper.
If installed/bled correctly these are a major improvement in initial and heavy braking.

So you can confirm the stock brake lines work?

I’ll get a picture when I get home. I thought I had one when I did the initial post. My whole brake line setup in the front is different. I think there are 2 lines bolted to each caliper.
