Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

[mattfeet]

The CBR900RR rotors I bought were from a 95 model. They are NOT a direct bolt-on, but they ARE the correct bolt spacing. Instead of using Saltymonk's template to drill new holes, you just need to enlarge the existing, which I prefer. Neither is a bad option, but if you're able to get the 900, I'd recommend it. This is the style I have on my GS1000.

Funny to see that pic from a couple years ago, Rudy.
It was a Kerker header with a Yosh muffler. Both since replaced with a stock system.

I still have some brackets on the shelf if anyone is in need...

 

[Tomas03]

I would like some. I have sent you a PM.

 

[salty_monk]

One back to you just now...

 

[salty_monk]

More brackets on the shelf if anyone needs them. $86 shipped in the US.

 

[salty_monk]

Just a bump up on the thread. I do have brackets here if anyone wants them.

I may need some. Right now I am trying to find a pair of forks in good shape on fleabay. Spending this much time and money on a project, I do not want pitted chrome. Will this work for the other 80's forks with dual brakes and anti-dive units? I think you can disable the units.. right?

The kit worked fine on my 82 1100E. I disabled my anti-dive units by removing the brake line from the caliper to the anti-dive unit and plugging the hole with a shortened banjo bolt. When I strip the forks down for maintenance next spring I will be installing block off plates and removing the anti-dive unit completely.

SO... would this kit work with these calipers:

these rotors:

So... will they work?

 

[shryke300]

Am i on the right track...?

 

[salty_monk]

Yes... You are spot on.

 

[shryke300]

just ordered some of that. I will be wanting to get a kit from you, but will have to wait about 2 weeks before I can....

 

[salty_monk]

Ok no probs. just let me know

 

[mattfeet]

I do recommend going with the CBR900 rotors as the bolt spacing is already correct. 1995 model year is what I used on both of my bikes.

 

[salty_monk]

Yes if you can get the rarer ones with the correct PCD / BCD then that makes things a little easier but re-drilling the holes using the spacer as a drilling jig works great too

 

[shryke300]

Whoops, I already bought them. ... so I will need a spacer now, right? Anything else? Also, I am having trouble finding decent gs750 dual brake forks. What is a realistic price and are there other model forks that will work for my '76 750?

 

[salty_monk]

The gs650g forks are also 35mm. The spacers for the rotors are included in the bracket kits.

 

[shryke300]

Are the rest of the dimensions the same?

 

[salty_monk]

Not sure what you are asking me here.... They are 35mm so should fit in your triple trees without a problem. Not 100% sure if the length is the same but as it's a 19" wheel on both I suspect that would be the case
