The cables that actually attach to the read brakes are different for the S/GS than the GSL. The cables from the handbrake to these lines are the same. Black Dragon Auto has a good diagram of the system.

The front and middle cables are the same for disc or drum brakes. The rear cables are different. You will need the rear cables specifically made for the disc brake setup.
