    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

are there any 2 or 4 pot calipers that will bolt on to the stock 78 gs1000e forks? thanx
 
Performance Machine can sell you front calipers that have 2, 4, 6 or 8 pistons that will bolt to your stock fork legs using their adapter plates. Not inexpensive, but consistent in price for this quality of product.
 
I have searched and researched this very same question all week.
Everyone will tell you what parts they "think" will work. Some folks will even tell you what parts will work...but no pictures for proof. Either it's a big secret, or it dosen't work.

I just bought some 4 piston calipers. As soon they get here, I will post pictures of what works and what won't. If mods are required, I'll post pics of those too.

Whatever I end up using, I'll let you know so we can put this one to bed once and for all.

I for one, am sick of lousy breaks.

The master cyl I have is from a 1997 750 Katana.
(that's the easy part)
 
keep on my case (email or pm me) and i will scan the pages on fitting non oem calipers to your forks as descriped in super bike prep by Jewel Hendricks. When I get back from Cali.
