Are rotors different on different gs450s?

[Guest]

Hi All,
Just bought me a 1981 gs450t! But I need to get a new caliper + pads, and potentially a new rotor. The last owner lost the caliper?...

Are the calipers/pads/and rotors any different between the different gs450s? (i.e. gs450l, gs450t, gs450e, etc...)

When I look online, I see a limited selection specifically for the gs450t, while there are still options listed for other 450 models. In fact some products just say they are for the gs450 and not a specific model.

Just looking for some clarification while I wait for my service manuals to come in as well.

Thanks in advanced!

Cipher - Additional question:
How did you find the information that you posted here? When I was going through the service manual from the bikecliff page, I couldn't find that detail of information.
