    GS Calipers

    Hi all I'm rebuilding an 850 GS into a bobber and have sourced some really nice forks for it which I believe came off an 1100. The wheel spindle for the new forks sits at the front off the forks instead of the bottom. this has meant that my calipers won't fit now as the wheel sits further forward. is there different calipers to fit these forks or do I need a bracket? many thanks in advance for any assistance

    The caliper hanger brackets are different for bikes with a leading axle fork.
