They are a different caliper. Might work but only if all the mounting points, pad thickness etc etc are the same. Tolerance is pretty tight.

Dan, I'm finally making some progress on my upgrade. Caliper rebuild kits took a long time to arrive. Thanks Flatout!
My painted calipers are currently baking in the oven. Red, of course.
My wife loves me.

Well Steve has fitted them but they are different to the ones I use... The only thing I don't know is if the offset is the same, the rest certainly seems to be.

It must be feasible to fit them as Steve has done it.... just be sure to check clearances very carefully once you have it all fitted.

Gearhead, i bought these rotors from a guy in Canada that said they were from his '95 F3. The spacers included by Salty provided the proper offset in my case. A VERY light grind with a Dremel and they fit the hub perfectly. The speedo drive dust shield needs approx 1/8" removed as well.
I have not ridden the bike yet[insurance woes, again] so i cannot give a report. They sure do look great.2@ \'78 GS1000
