83 to 81 gs 1100 fork swap. Brakes?

[Guest]

Hi, I am a new owner of an 83 GS 1100 half way being converted to a cafe racer. The guy before me wanted to get rid of the anti-dive system so replaced the forks with 81 gs 1100. The problem now is the calipers don't match up with the rotors. It still has the 83 calipers and rotors. So my question is do I have to replace the calipers and rotors or just one or the other? I do still have the original forks but I have noticed alot of people replace these anyways.

I appreciate any advice.

The caliper hangers are different. You need to match the hangers to the forks. Discs are same.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick response. Anyone know where to find 81 gs 1100 caliper hangers without purchasing the entire caliper?

Why not just block off the anti-dives?

Yeah I was kinda thinking that. Is there no benefit to having the 81 forks vs 83 other than not having the anti dive? Also, is there a description somewhere on this forum on how to get rid of the anti dive and what other parts I will need?

Thanks again
