upgrading front brake calipers on GS 1150EF

I am thinking about upgrading front calipers on my GS1150, I understand that a 91 GSX R calipers will bolt right on with some small improvisation does anyone have any knowledge of this or other calipers that work well??
 
I put a set of Nissin four pot calipers from a GSXR750 on my 1150 last winter. It was a very easy swap.

- The calipers bolt right on. No washers are needed to adjust their position towards the discs.
- I bought a new set of brake pads, (non-sintered that are easy on the discs).
- The lower brake hoses needed to be a bit longer, so I invested in a set of braided ones.
- No need to change your master brake cylinder, (pot area on calipers are almost the same).

Braking performance are great and the feel in the handle is very nice. I can?t compare
this set up with the stock on though, as my old calipers wasn?t working as they were
supposed to anyway.

yeah I did the same swap, I believe my calipers were from a early bandit 1200, just bolt them on
 
Does anyone know if the front calipers from an '89 GSX-R 750 will bolt right up to an '85 GS1150ES? I know the 750 has 310mm rotors, the 1150 rotors are 275mm. I've got new EBC Pro Lite rotors, front and rear.
What about a rear caliper upgrade?
I'm getting real tired of just trying to even find parts for my stock calipers.
Thanks, Greg B.
