Yes I enjoyed the inverted forks thread too.
My bike is from the other side of the world, Japan home market model. It's a 1983 GS650GZ katana. The nipple I snapped was in one of the antidive units. I could blank that off of I am unable to drill the sub of the nipple out. But I like weird stuff so want to keep the anti dive and set of I can make it work.

I just wanted to add I have never had issues with splitting 2 piece calipers on any bike I've worked on over the years - never had to drill the heads off the allen bolts or anything like that.
The o ring / seal between the caliper halves can get caked up with the same corrosion you find under the piston seals, so it's always a good idea to split the calipers and attend to this IMO. Plus the pistons and seals are far easier to insert with the caliper in 2 pieces.
