              Some more units on the shelf. Also I believe I have enough parts for one complete "kit" right now.

                  Just completed a twin pot brake and fork upgrade on my 1976 GT750. Salty_monk's adapter kit (painted with POR15 chassis black), EBC CBR900RR 296mm rotors #MD-1014X (centers painted dark gray), ZX600C calipers (painted with POR15 chassis black and rebuilt with Kawasaki parts), EBC semi-sintered pads FA129V, forks from a 1979 GS750E (leg bottoms brushed clean and clear coated), chrome fender from a GS550. Bolts for mounting the adaptor brackets are grade 10.9 zinc plated flange head M10X40mm 1.25 pitch and 2 washers, 2 lock washers, and 2 nuts. Overall the conversion saved a bunch of weight and gave better damping and travel than the stock GT750 setup. This made the front feel better, turn better and STOP similar to my 2011 DL650. Still looks classic with a huge improvement. Thank you Salty_monk for a great adaptor kit.
                  Note for anyone doing this conversion: the speedo cable needs to be longer, I ordered one for a 1979 GS750E it's 3" longer and should fit the speedo, brake lines need to be custom made.

                    Very nice. The GT must be slightly different, you can get away with stock length brake lines & Speedo cable on most bikes.

                      Looks good. This is how mine turned out.

                          Down to the last half dozen sets of these. I will likely get more made if there is demand but the price will probably be a bit higher given the time between orders.

                              I have a few sets left of these. Demand seems less now so I may not do any more once these are gone. Maybe everyone who was going to do it has done it!!
