Any bike dealer with a parts unlimited Catalog can get you a universal master cyl and stainless steel lines, and with all that power I would get in touch with Salty Monk here on the site and buy a brake upgrade setup that he does with the Honda rotors and Kawasaki twin pot calipers.1984 GS1100GK newest addition to the heard
80 GS 1000gt- most favorite ride love this bike
1978 GS1000E- Known as "RoadKill" , Finished
83 gs750ed- first new purchase
85 EX500- vintage track weapon
1958Ducati 98 Tourismo

i just replaced my front Master Cyl. with an identical piece from another bike. Picked it up for cheap from Baltimore Cycle Salvage. the guys there have an unbelievable selection, and pulled my part off of a working bike with working brakes. took it home, rebuilt it, and installed it no problem. total investment was 40 bucks i think? not sure what shipping would look like to SD, and if you want NEW you'll probably spend the same amount, but I wanted to keep things as original as possible.Comment

Hi,
You might want to shop eBay for a used front wheel and rotors. The 850G, 1000G, and 1100G all used the same basic front wheel assembly. Note that the wheel spoke style changed in '82. You have the later style on your bike. I don't know if that matters to you.
You can make your own braided stainless steel brake lines (I would suggest you do) using Goodridge parts from Z1Enterprises.com or order kits from an aftermarket manufacturer (there's a list in your "mega-welcome"). You can also crimp your own brake lines using Earl's parts from ANPlumbing.com (information on my website). See the *Brakes Odds and Ends* page.
If you can't find a used master cylinder (rebuild it before you use it!), an aftermarket part will work just as well but be more expensive. For the calipers you pretty much have to buy used (don't forget to rebuild them!) unless you want to install a twin-pot upgrade (requires fabrication/modification skills) using Mr. salty_monk's procedure. See: Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk.
