Currently stuck figuring out the rear wheel. Caliper for whatever reason doesn't want to fit the mount and if I flip the mount around it hits the bolts holding on the rotor to the wheel. I'll post pictures up of this dilemma when I get home this afternoon. Thinking button head Allen bolts with fix the issue we shall see.

Sounds like you have to do some adjustment with the spacer and or caliper mount thicknesses, I had to do that with mine. I think i went with a thicker one between the wheel and the caliper mount and shaved some material off of the outer side of the caliper mount itself. Then again i think i might of had a caliper mount from a gsxr so, you might have to do something different....

Here is the only pic i have (good thing i kept it) as you can see it is a kat caliper, they are above the arm like stock. I cut the ends off of the stock gs brake stay arm and welded them to a piece of smaller dia. tube.

Ooops, now that i look at this pic again i think that it is one with a different wheel ('89 1100 gsxr) than the kat wheel that was on it before this one. But, the caliper and mount looked like this set-up. Hope this is still helpfull....

I used a stock GS850, GS1000, GS1100 caliper with a custom tension arm, shortened flat plate hanger & spacers to suit. I had to chamfer the back of the caliper for clearance. This was using the small GSXR rotor (7.5"?? - there is a bigger dia one that I think would be easier to work with).



and some inspiration...:















and with the stock seat & a different windshield...
