    Pretty much anything will work with brackets & spacers but I suspect you'll also need to move to a larger disc size as well as the swept area of those calipers is probably meant for a 300mm disc not a puny 274mm like the stock GS dual discs...

    You have 3 options that I know of: 1. GS550 discs. (296mm) 2. Honda CBR F4 discs re-drilled & spaced away from the hub. (295mm) 3. Honda CBR 900RR 1998 discs (can't remember if these need spacer but hole pattern is correct, you do need to enlarge the holes though). 310mm.

      Thanks Dan,
      Great information and i appreciate your help. Once the bike is back together i will start on measuring up some spacers and brackets.
      Plenty to do before then though
