    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • 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.

Hey All, looking for some recommendations.
After much deliberation, I'm leaning towards staying with the Stock Forks... sourcing GSXR/Bandit forks, geometry issues and stock aesthetics are issues I've contemplated.

Curious if there are good success stories with an aftermarket (wilwood, brembo, etc) rotors/caliper setup that provides a decent performance bump without sacrificing nostalgia?

open to suggestions!
thanks!

Check out Salty Monk's upgrade. He's a member here. He has adapters that allow for more modern dual pot calipers and discs.

There is a link in my signature :)

it will work on your bike if it’s axle under fork rather than leading axle.
 
I’ve got in my notes dl1000 triple tree with a bandit front end is a bolt on..... I haven’t done this myself, so I offer it only as something to look into.
You’d prob want to match the rear wheel as well.
