About front brakes
On my GSX 750 ES 1983 the front brakes are not so good,Will it improve a lot to change to stainless brakelines and change the master cylinder to a newer one from a bigger bike ex GSXR1100 or CBR1000,Or must i also change the calipers?Tags: None

Stainless steel lines will make a big improvement of 25+ year rubber ones. You should be fine with the master cylinder and calipers you have. You may want to change the brake pads if you have not replaced them.

The 1983 brakes are about the best of the bunch. With stainless lines & decent pads they are "ok". Hard work if you ever ride 2 up though & pretty wooden feeling.
I have a set of 6 pot Tokico's on mine... they are overkill for sure!
