SS Brake lines for a R80RT with Low Euro bars - Help?

I'm having a hard time finding SS Brake lines for this bike as modified. Its dual disc front set up with low Euro handlebar. I' of the opinion that the R100 has the same brake set up as the R80RT. I can find the R100 w/low bar, but no luck with an R80 (just not listed anywhere.

Can anyone confirm the R100 is the same or recommend a readily available source? I'm told to measure, but would rather getting the right kit.

If all you have is a dual disc and low bars Spiegler probably the correct kit for your bike. Just make sure you give them all the information about the bike.
 
Depending on where you live, ask your local auto parts dealer or reliable auto repair shop who makes up brake (hydraulic) lines locally for them.

It's likely that they make hydraulic lines every day and all day long. Most likely for motorcycles/automobiles, farm tractors to large construction equipment. You will find lots of options, from line material to colors. And at 1/2 the cost, maybe, of some suppliers. You might have to supply your own fitting washers. I prefer to use new washers.

Take measurements (line length) and photos of lines and fittings to get an estimate.
Best to take your lines in for exact duplication.

My 86 R80 started out as a RT. It now is fairing-less with "S" bars. It originally had about a mile of hose with a junction block under the front of the tank. Since the 86 R80 RT had a rigid pipe from the left caliper ro the right, it only needed one hose. I measured the distance from the master cylinder to the caliper and ordered a custom hose from Spiegler. I got rid of the junction block as it served no purpose.
