    rear caliper swap?

    I know a lot of these parts swap out, but does anyone know if a '79 GS850 rear caliper will go "effortlessly" on to a '79 GS1000? Parts fische does show different part numbers...

    not sure, but i put an 83 gs750e caliper on my 79 gs750 and it worked perfect. its most likely compatible.

      could be different type pads..

      If the pads are the same.. they should note: I said should.. not will fit.. it the pads are different then you might not be able to do it.. got access to the gs1000 bike??? measure the mounting holes and see how close they are and that will tellyou more than anything.. other then that atlk to the oldest mech at the dealer.. they would have a better handle on it..

        It should work. If you go to the Alpha Sports Web site http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm and click on the part number for the 79 850 caliper assembly, it has been superseded several times and one of the parts that fits is 69100-45030. That part also shows up as a supersede for the 79 1000 rear caliper.
