GS750 disc diameters

Hey,

Can someone tell me where I can possibly find front brake rotor diameters? I just bought some 83 calipers for GS750 and apparently the dual discs I have are too large. Did Suzuki vary disc diameter between years??


Thanks,
Greg.
 
I'm not sure there was a variance in rotor diameters. I do know there was a difference in thickness and starting in 1980 they were thinner.

What year 750 do you need rotors for?

Fork part numbers

Fork part numbers

Ok, I have part numbers on each fork leg. The base number S184-0 and MK-1L (left) and MK-1R (right). The discs are 275mm in diameter. The calipers are from a 83 GS750. It appears the disc is about 5mm too big on the radius, 10mm on the diameter. My question is: Did Suzuki change there brake caliper mounts during the 80's for the rectanglar style brake pad or did they change the disc diameter? If I can't locate the correct disc diameter, I am thinking about turning down the discs to clear the caliper.

Help!

Thanks,
Greg.
 
I'm puzzled. You say you have an 83 GS 750. You bought calipers for an 83 GS 750. The stock 83 rotors that were already on the bike now dont fit???
