Has anyone that's done the 2 line to blue dots mod, and are happy with the lengths, happen to recall what lengths they were?

Thanks

I did (actually I have gold-dots).
I ordered a set of Galfer lines spec'd for my year FJ (they offer a set with double lines, instead of the triple line with junction setup)
They fit perfectly with my FJR master cylinder.
I am not exactly sure of the length. I could measure for you, but I do know they are standard length for an FJ.

Thanks Firehawk, I suspected standard length hoses might do the job but it's good to have it confirmed.

I'm getting Speigler lines. they also offer 2 line setups so ordering should be easy.

Thanks again.

Here is the email I had with Pat Conlon when I was ready to buy my Speigler lines.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.

I put ss lines on my 86 earlier this year.  It had an FJR master and YZF600 front end.  Here's the link to the post about the brake lines.
