Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
caliper upgrade

They'd need to be sliders, as there's not enough room for opposed piston types. At least, none that have been found so far.
I haven't found a good solution for an opposed piston yet. I suspect the only models with enough distance between the fork legs would be the 83+ 750/700 models with the 16" wheel. The GS1150 has opposed pistons & I suspect that it is the same front end. The 1150 Hub is much wider to push the rotors out.
The GK models with the larger diameter legs might also have more distance.. I've not measured one to find out.
The XJ9 legs are 37mm and would fit straight on to the GS. The XJ uses opposed piston calipers.
If I ever bend the front badly enough, I'll look for an XJ front end. I honestly can't say I've had any reservations about the XJ handling and braking.
