    GS1000EN disks

    Hi Guys
    I am following a set of disks on a famous auction site () that came off a GS850G, question is with they fit on my GS1000EN (79) standard wheels? At some point I will be changing the wheels but for now will be using the originals and thought the vented disks look better than the old ones I have.

    Thanks for any help

      The disks ,will bolt on but are smaller diameter if I recall and (correct me if I am wrong) may need the 850 calipers?

        I have fitted vented discs to my 1980 Gs1000s,with no isues, I also have Gsx1100et calipers fitted aswell.....
        also there is a big weight differance 2 vented discs way as much as one stock disc when i weighed them......

          Me too. Though I have the even lighter GSX750ES calipers (I think they might weigh about 50 grams less......) Braking is light and day better than those old calipers with the round pads.

            cheers for the info...I take it GSX750ES calipers will fit straight onto the GS1000EN forks?

              Straight bolt on. Same as later GS850 calipers but I'm not sure what year they changed (and loads of GSX750ES bikes are getting broken at the moment as they aren't loved over here).

                  guys just need some confirmation, I have just got hold of a pair of GSX750ESD front calipers that need some TLC....is the seal kit on the attached site for the 'two' front calipers?...it looks like it has all the seals for 2 too me or am I missing something...just want to check before I buy, or does anyone know of a better price for a seal kit over here in UK?

                  For the very best quality, really reliable motorcycle parts, spares and motorbike service equipment for a Suzuki GSX 750 ESD 1983 have a look at the Wemoto website!

                    Yes, each side takes one of those flat O rings and one boot for the piston

                        Expensive bits of rubber! Are you sure that you don't just need the seals - that'll save you quite a bit. And if you got hold of some stainless pistons then you wouldn't need the boots.
