1978 gs1000 brake question
Looking for a single front rotor for my 78 1000 that is drilled. Anyone know of another model year that will pretty much bolt on ?? . Don't want to drill my stock rotor as i want to keep it in case i want to go back with the stock rotor. The rear is not an issue. Was going to go with dual rotors, but don't want the extra weight..Tags: None

'80 GS1000E, Model ET The '80 E model came stock with drilled disks. Although there two disks. You can go to BassCliff's site, go to the service manual to page 15-23. There is a caution not to reverse the disks, but you only need the correct one, and I can't remember if it's right or left.sigpic

You can use on from 1981 and up 650l, and 750t.
I have one here off a 650l, its a bolton replacement of the single 1000c single disc.
Only the thickness is not the same.

I'm thinking i'm going to have to obtain a single and have it drilled. Most of the later models are dual disc. Was hoping for a cheaper alternative. The machine shops are proud of their shop time. Have already located a rear drilled disc of an 81 gs1000 to go on the rear

If you have a rotor just drill it. Buy a second one on ebay IF you want to change back to stock.
You can drill it yourself as long as you have a drill press. There are threads here about guys that have done it.Ed
To measure is to know.

KOCHIC, you must have been posting the same time i was.. I saw that one for sale. Just wasn't sure. Thanks for the head up. That is what i'm looking for... Ed, i have tried to do it in the past. I don't have a good press, or the bits to do it. Those rotors are FREAKIN tough
