If so lets have the details.... I'm a stickler for function not originality. The GS parts are getting a bit long in the tooth now - hard to find them without rust.

Ah...you implied the wrong thing here...."don't care to keep it original".....lol. I'm not judging at all, but this forum caters mostly to the "original" crowd.
My thread about installing USD forks on my 1000G got only a few replies.....not original equipment....but luckily they were good ones.
I'm looking to do the same thing since my front end will be newer....you and I had this conversation long ago{lol} when I bought your upgrade kit...I'd still like a matching rear rotor, and the like, too.
GSX-R tidbits work with some GS stuff {and vise-versa}...as I recall, a GSX-R rear wheel will take a GS drive hub.
While this is a great site for restorations...there's others for Suzuki GS mods that are more apt to help....check your PMs bud.

Dan,
You want me to bring your lathe back so you can bore your old master out and press in a stainless sleeve? Should be doable once you figure out how to hold it.Ed
To measure is to know.

None of the ones I've seen are a direct bolt-on so far. The Vstrom one looks like it stands a decent chance of working (and sell for about $15-$20) if I can make a simple bracket to space it correctly. Most now seem to have that 45mm mounting bolt spacing as a standard.Last edited by salty_monk; 09-14-2017, 03:17 PM.1980 GS1000G - Sold

The more modern GS500 has the 5 that works with the GSXR wheel. Some of the GSXR wheels do use 6.

Dan,
-either consider the ebay one above or, ask Brandonbeezy here {or, elsewhere} since he swapped the rear wheel and rear caliper {I think} on his G model. If not then the info I gave you should get the question{s} answered if no one here can.

Take some proper photos and load them up on a good photo hosting site and then link them here so people can see photos in high resolution without having to click some tiny attachment link. If you put out some effort for the community the folks here are very generous with their praise and you will get the encouragement you desire.

Vstrom rear cylinders seem to be nothing more than used {$10-$46 plus s/h} or rebuild kits...on the bay.
I think this is why so many folks seem to use GSX-r stuff...they were so plentiful and there's still such a following for them.
Problem is those crazy folks who change brakes out for something newer/different/better....once they start, they want more....lol.

I have bought a 2500 mile 1.5 year old full system off a Ninja 300 for 30 bucks...
I will see if I can make it work (and it's dual piston so will probably work with the stock caliper too if I choose that route). Was worried that the Vstrom one might not be big enough bore as it's only single piston. I will report back..1980 GS1000G - Sold

Oh, but don't worry, I did ask for added pics and description from my ebay fork assembly auction before I bid on it....that way if it went bad I didn't have to come here to WHINE about it being bad later like someone with their carbs did.....and I didn't bash you there...............Pass the popcorn and the medical maryjane...Sheesh....
{well, here's the entertainment folks...}
