    I started on a 1000G so it's possible just probably not ideal.... Best of luck.

    Rather than rebuild your brakes you could spend your money to upgrade to the twinpot Kawasaki Calipers - i started putting the brackets for that together as a kit as the stock 1000G brakes scared me... Especially with my wife on the back (even though she's only 100lb)!
    depends on how bothered you are with originality over performance. The Twinpots are night and day to the originals.

      It sounds like you're well on the way to being an "old salt"!

        Well I have the leaks down below fixed and I'm working on the front master cylinder.

        I think this weekend it might be OK.

        I'm more concerned with a working bike than being 100% original, though I'm trying to keep it close to stock.
