    Twin-pot mod banjo bolt pitch

    Does anyone know if the banjo bolts off an 83 GS1100ED will fit into a 1993 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6?
    I am doing the saltymonk mod with the GS550 rotors and the bracket he had fabbed.
    I am worried about not having the correct banjo bolts for the newer twin-pot calipers since I do want to install my anti-dive units.
    Dan stated that the pitch may be different.

    Chef, I had to get the Kawasaki ones for mine as the Suzuki thread pitch bolts wouldn't fit properly. Suzuki didn't go to the same thread pitch until much later based on the research I did. By the way, I do have one single-holed banjo bolt if you want it with the Kawasaki threads. PM me your address and it's yours.

      Thank you
      What I need is one more double banjo since there is one on the union with the calipers I bought.
      Hate to hit up my favorite online store for one banjo bolt.

        I just bought a union for a 95 ZX-6 with a double banjo bolt.
        I'm good to go!
