I have an 82' GS450TXZ and want to install a stronger single disc front brake on my bike.Do you know if I can fit a larger rotor than stock to my bike ?

Contact Salty Monk to see if his kit will fit your bike.
It uses a twin-piston caliper, not sure about larger disks.

I think we loosely talked about this previously.. You can put a CBR rotor & twinpot on that bike. I believe it's a 274mm rotor you have currently isn't it?1980 GS1000G - Sold

Good morning,
I had shoulder surgery (right,dominant side..)and moving slow.I do have the stock rotor on my bike,yes.Would a CBR rotor be larger ?Comment

Yes, I believe yours uses a 274mm rotor. CBR rotor is 295mm and mates up with a twin pot caliper off a Kawasaki Ninja, EX500 or Concourse using a bracket and hub spacer set.
I have some brackets currently & can steer you towards the right rotor / caliper on Ebay. Then you have to drill the rotor, source a 3rd M10 bolt & nut, at that point it's a straight bolt-on. Use stock Master Cylinder.1980 GS1000G - Sold

Yes,
That sounds just exactly what I would like,hoping for more braking power. I sent you a message, I would like to do this.Comment

A message back to you.
Bigger Rotor.
Two piston Caliper
Much longer pad (More swept volume of the braking surface makes a big difference).
It will make a big difference on that bike.1980 GS1000G - Sold

Let me make a guess why you want more braking power on a 450, just a random, wild guess: for pulling a trailer hauling an other bike 2/3rds the way across the country.Bikes
