Front brake upgrade choices
Its been yrs since I updated the brakes on one of my GS's. I'm hoping that in the yrs since then 1 or 2 particular caliper and rotor combos has risen to the top with regard to preference/performance. With that hope in mind, I'd appreciate some advice on what calipers and rotors to look for to replace the OEM setup on my '83GS1100E.
THANKS!!Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

EDIT 1/1/2023 - Yes I have a few sets of brackets/spacers/hub spacers left - Price is $104 shipped Priority in the USA. Most other countries tend to be around $125-$130 shipped 1st class package. Newest brackets also allow the new Ninja EX650 Tokico calipers to be fitted as well as SV650 & DL650. Just some pics of the

Thanks guys. I should've mentioned that I'd planned on going with the Salty Monk setup just I have in the past. My question is/was, of all the different choices of rotors and twin pot calipers, is there one or 2 setups in particular that stand out as being preferable over the others? If so, I'll look for those.Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.
