Guest repliedCan I purchase spacers only and can you send to the uk.I am running a usd gsxr fork on an RG500 and want to fit a gs hub as I fancy spoked wheels. -
You should be able to see it by eye, just centre it within the body of the caliper.
with the 550 Rotors it isn't precisely central but it doesn't seem to affect anything - as long as the pads don't drag on one side (because you are so far off centre the slide can't compensate) then you should be fine.
Check bu by hand before riding it!Leave a comment:

Guest repliedSaltymonk, I know you must get tired of helping us all flounder through your upgrade! I am very happy with mine. I do want to ask for some measurement confirmations, though. The twin disk forks I got were a little narrow for some reason. I was wondering if you had some measurements to show how the rotor is to be centered in the calipers?Leave a comment:

Pm back. Those Rotors look right. The RR ones you need to check Dia - some RR ones are larger dia than 296mm. If you are buying new get the ones with the 78mm PCD / BCD rather than 76mm, that way you only have to enlarge the holes to 8mm rather than re-drill between existing.
The spacer also acts as a drilling jig (bolt it to two existing 6mm holes using shoulder bolts & drill the 8mm straight through - with a drill press is best).Leave a comment:

Guest repliedThanks for the quick reply! PM'd you about the brackets.
Will the following rotors work on my 85 GS550E? If so which would be recommended? I don't know if one is superior to the others in performance or if they're pretty much the same.
And I just want to confirm, but I'll be set for the upgrade with a pair of rotors, the bracket/spacer set, and a pair of calibers right? Assuming the brackets you have are steel which means I can use the original mounting bolts.
Thanks for the help!
