'82 GS1100e - cheap upgrade rotors / calipers?

[Guest]

My 1982 GS1100e has some pulsing in my front brakes. Haven't mic'd the discs yet, but suspect warping.

Rather than just replace the rotors, has anybody identified parts from something newer that can be easily retrofitted? (e.g., like the brakes from a '97 Bandit bolt up, or something like that)

The calipers on mine are sh1te anyway, so considering the seal kits are $50 each, plus the cost of the discs, plus...

I might consider swapping the whole front end, but I like the wheels to match and would like to keep the stock look to some degree.

You can do the Kawasaki twinpot brake mod on that bike. You need a set of brackets, some Honda CBR F3 rotors & some Kawasaki Concourse/Ninja twinpot calipers.

I will bump the thread so you can see it... I have brackets here at the moment
