Building vintage superbike gs1100 debored to 1000cc, difference in 81 and 82 frame rake or is it in the triple clamps? rules are 41mm forks and 3.5 front,4.5 rear wheels, 2 piston front calibers, what front end? bandit, sv650 ? are they cartridge type? lenth of front is important for clearance. I have 3 sets of 18 inch dymags but want to run 17's for the tire choices. looking for idea's. thanks Randy

When in doubt, copy what's winning as a start point...Much of what joesigns has done is what you're talking about.
If you're limited to two piston calipers - and correct period - then it's Lockheed or Brembo. Brembo are cheaper and with a 14mm mastercylinder are probably as good.

Good luck and keep us informed.

Why not start with a GS1000 and keep it simple? Plenty of great engine goodies.
