Front calipers GS1000

[Guest]

Hi guys, when putting together the front end on my rebuild I couldn't get the caliper hanger to fit in the gap between the disc and the front fork leg where it bolts in, I could however get the earlier style calipers with the round pads in. I'm not sure what year the forks are from but why would the later calipers not fit?

Any chance you could provide a pic or two?

What year are the newer calipers from?
I just swapped calipers onto a '79 GS850 from an '82 GS1100 and everything bolted up nice. I had the old roundies like you have so the bolt should be the same.

They should all fit unless you are trying to put in a hanger from a bike with a leading axle on a bike that hasn't got a leading axle (and vice versa).
