You could fit the Ninja ones to your racer with CBR rotors... That should be at least as powerful as the lockheeds...

6l. BRAKES: Must be of a style and type in use during the period. No floating rotors unless produced in
the period, ie Kosman or Spondon. Maximum rotor diameter is 300 mm except for period rotors or exact
replicas of a larger diameter. Calipers shall have no more than two hydraulic pistons.

Damn... that even rules out an 1150 opposed piston setup! Wonder if any of the Italian bikes had anything that advanced before 82....
You could have fit them with the 550 rotors, drilled & lightened to get round the rotor thing....

So the '84 Ninja calipers - while a good 2-piston upgrade from single - would be disallowed as out-of-period. Brand new Lockheeds, made by AP, would be allowed as period-correct exact replicas. Welcome to the insanity of vintage racing. :-)

Have any machining contacts? I am just thinking that if we can get our hands on some period disks maybe we can have a few sets made up for us. off the top of my head performance machine should be able to do, kosman offers fabrication services too, they might even have old jigs still as well the many harley aftermarket brake guys.Last edited by first timer; 05-14-2009, 10:20 PM.78 GS1000 Yosh replica racer project

I haven't really looked hard for disks, but, yeah, I think they're available.
There's a *bit* of a kerfuffle over eligibility this year, and things might be different next year. As such, I decided not to put money and effort into wheels and brakes this year. I'd pick up "low-hanging fruit", but am spending my time, money and effort on engine.

Sometimes you run across things on Ebay that are misspelled and the auctions go pretty much unnoticed. I picked up my Yosh header that way. I stumbled across it somehow and the title had Yoshimera in it so it screwed his auction up. Might try spellings like Lockhead from time to time.
