?83 GS850GL Cafe style build help?

[Dirtmod]

Hey guys, looking for recommendations for front caliper upgrades and any other things I could do performance wise on my build?
So I chopped the frame in half and and did my own design for a hoop and such and my own foot pegs, shortened the forks and added clip ons along with some other odds and ends

Welcome to the site.
If you are doing your own frame mods you must have some fab skills so that puts you ahead of most of us.
I like the knee scallops in the tank. Is that your work or is that one of those pre-fab cafe tanks?
Anyways, you could contact SaltyMonk about a set of brackets/set-up for his 2 piston caliper upgrade.

Welcome.
Looks like some nice fab work on the shock mounts and footrest structures.
As Steve noted, the brake upgrade is a good way to go if you're planning to keep the orignal frontend.
