As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

fitting a 1990 gsxr1100 wheel in gs1150 forks

I'm doing a mock up of my new forks, and I'm trying to figure out what rotors will work with this set up. I want to use the 1150 calipers. Here's what I need: 275mm rotors with a 5 hole pattern, a 20mm off-set, and 35mm of contact patch.
The goal is the path of least resistance and least $$$.
I don't know if there is any bike that has this kind of rotors, but I've heard there's an EBC catalouge that shows all the dimentions of every rotor they carry. Anyone? Is there a website with this info?
If there isn't such a rotor out there, I figure I have some other options.
1. fab a relocating bracket for whatever rotors fit the wheel.
2. buy different calipers to work with gsxr rotors.
3. order custom rotors (no, no, bad idea)
4. find 275mm, 5 hole rotors with less off-set and shim as needed.

I do know that Solo used 290mm rotors and nissin 4pot calipers, so I guess that is definately one option.

It's always easier to use brake components from the same bike the wheel came off of. Try looking at early Katana 600 rotors. They may be just what you need.
