      As I said above.... I like to use two. You save a lot of weight in the rotor swap. Caliper is about the same.

      Also if you want a set of the later model GS caliper I have a set (actually still sealed to the master cylinder). Rebuilt and new pads with about 1,000 or so miles on them.

        And not trying to cut in to Salty Monk's gig but I ended up with 2 of his kits and 1 set of Kawi calipers I don't need....
