Of course mine sticks when I start it up. One of these days I'll open it up and lube it or something. or just ditch the analog mechanism altogether and convert to a digital gauge.
Great job on the project BTW.Roger

Hi Salty, Bunyip here again, just to confirm with you, you recommend the Ninja EX650 calipers, GS550 front brake rotors and a set of your brackets and I should be good to go or stop better in this case. Do I need certain year models as I am not sure if the bikes here in Oz would be the same named/model as the U.S.A.
Cheers for your help.
Carl

You either need the late 80’s Ninja, the Kawasaki concourse or for the newer caliper you can use Vstrom 650 or EX650. There are a lot of choices.
if you send me pics Or links I can tell you if they’ll work.
I would definitely recommend Honda CBR F3 or F4 or VFR rotors over GS550 but they will work. Again if you send me pics/links I can tell you if they’re the right ones.1980 GS1000G - Sold
