question for the builders and experts

[Matt B]

I have successfully transplanted the forks from an 84 GS1150e to my 81 GS1100e. Handlebars and brakes and all. problem is a question of the brake rotors. I do not have the front wheel assembly nor the front fender to the 1150...wish i did. Is there a difference in offset of the rotors on these 2 bikes? the 1150 forks are roughly 12 mm wider on each side of centerline. so the calipers dont fit the rotors where they are now. I can have spacers made to put the rotors out the required 12mm if the 1150 rotors arent different. Any thoughts? thanks in advance.

The rotors are different. If yo are using the 1150 calipers, you will need the 1150 rotors. I'd find a front wheel with the rotors. They come up on ebay all the time, and so do front fenders.

I have an 1150 front wheel if you want to go that route, it's a 16" in case you didn't know. No rotors or calipers though, sorry.

I have the rotors! Nessism has the wheel I sold him that they came off of. I have a friend that I think has the stock calipers too. If interested, call me at 714-356-7845. Ray.

Now all you need is some bolts and you're set!
