Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

One more set gone today.

I have a handful left & one whole kit incl some 2006 Concourse Calipers (grey) & some of the 7 button lightest rotors that work for this mod.

Do you still have the rotors? If so, how much you want for them?
 
I'd rather move them as a whole package. Let me see if I have more than 1 set - possible! :)
 
Hello guys. Maybe someone has already posted a similar question in this topic... I am going to get the similar zx calipers for my bike. I want to find a nice set of street / performance pads... do you have a model that could fit or be great for my use or are the oem pads ok?
 
Hello guys!

Any recomendation about the ZXR pads?

I just received my calipers yesterday, they fit, I'm happy!
But - when I fitted them (first try), I centered the calipers on the disc and I measured a 7mm gap between the fork and the caliper mounting plate... So my question is:

Why do not make the adaptation plate to be able to fit it between the fork and the caliper (it would be a 7mm thick plate)? The result would be that no added part, just that plate... I used to see, on all the pictures, that that plate is not between the fork and the caliper mounting plate but on front of the fork.....

thanks!
 
I've had oem pads in mine since i did the swap and, i think that anything more would be a waste of money. In fact i used the nice still flat, barely worn set that came in the calipers i got off ebay. I bought a set of sintered pads years ago and vowed to never buy them again....
 
ok, thanks

About the position of the adaptating plate?
I have a 7mm gap between the fork and the caliper mounting plate, I think I'll make a plate to fit directly between the fork and the caliper to avoid spacers between them
 
What bike? What forks? What rotors are you using and what calipers? You say "similar" ones above. :)

Too much torsional (twisting) force on the fork leg if you bring the caliper in further. Are you running stock GS 15mm axle? Spacing the rotors out for most of the adaptation is definitely the better way to go.

Suzuki gs 550, all stock apart cbr 900 discs and zx 600 a calipers. I rested with a plate between the fork and the calipers, it's ok for me!

Over here the GS550 only has one brake, a single disc & it is larger than the duals. I am guessing you are outside of the US or the forks are not stock. :)
 
Is there a preference with the Anti-Dive on the GS1100e to keep it or disconnect it? Also wondering looks like some of the listed rotors have a 58MM center hole and some are 62MM. Are these supposed to be hubcentric? According to my crappy calipers a GS hub is ~56MM
