    1983 gs 850 front brake caliper upgrade

    hello could anyone help with a bit of advise ? my freind has just recently bought a 1983 gs 850 trike as an unfinished project and has recruited me to finish it for him but my problem is the front brake calipers on this bike look totally alien to me they have a pair of what looks like rubber blocks instead of a conventional pad so i am looking to upgrade the calipers . does anyone know of a caliper which would bolt straight on to these forks and work with the same alloy wheel and disc setup ? many thanks in advance for any help Terry

    Most GS calipers for the larger bikes are the same - check the parts for sale, or, do the twinpot upgrade
