Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

[storm 64]

For anyone in the UK who wanted brackets I have some visitors coming in a week or so that could probably be persuaded to take a set back...

Honest airport security man, it's not a Bump Stock. It's a Salty Monk Twin Piston Caliper Bracket! Sir, you're going to have to come with me... 😃

Back at ya

Need a bracket -- PM sent.

[salty_monk]

Have some more brackets ready to go if anyone is in need.

[salty_monk]

The L models do but I'm fairly sure the GK models don't and I'm also fairly sure someone else here used them on a GK.

If they don't work out you can send them back to me if they are not damaged, just pay postage (and any Paypal fees).

Yes they should work fine on any 1100 fork. The 1150 fork is different. Responded to your PM (about the 1150 forks) but have brackets if you need some for 1100 forks.

I was under the impression that the GK calipers had a slightly different offset compared to the other 1100s. I definitely need a set of brackets if they'll do. I replied to your PM.

Have a few sets of brackets on the shelf if anyone is in need although I Can't ship any until end of August due to schedule.

I believe it was mentioned in this thread that these will work with GS1100GK forks? If so I need a set.

@salty_monk I'll send you a PM in a moment.

Edit: previously said that I was using GS1150 forks...

Will 2001 CBR900rr rotors work for this application?

I think they are a different diameter.

These are the lightest ones that are compatible if that is what you are looking for:

These work too:

Chuck welded the original brake bracket & extended it then did a very good job of blending it back to the original metal. Looks great. Doesn't appear that there was any heat damage.
You need to trust your welder if you go that route! Grinding the welds to finish them would make for a very weak bracket if you do not have full penetration of the weld.

I think the HH's are designed for rotors like the CBR's - wear will be higher but it's a trade off.

I've run HH's for 40k on my Triumph with no rotor issues. Break in those pads on the street before you go to track day. 2-3 blocks before home, I'll ride the brakes and then let 'em cool down. Chuck, in the 1st picture, it looks like you don't run a bracket, straight bolt on?

[greg78gs750]

yeah, I've been running the ebay cheapies for a while, but i need new pads for an upcoming track day. Any concerns with the ebc hh's and rotor wear? I have been looking, too, at ceramic, but I've not had luck finding decent ones.
