GS850g front brake calipers?

[Guest]

Hi folks.

I have a 78 GS750E with cast wheels and twin brake calipers. Me being such a big heavy lump, I would like to improve the braking just a bit. I have been told that the GS850G front calipers with the square pads, are a direct bolt on replacement for my smaller round pad calipers. Can you experts confirm this please?

Yes those with the square pads fit straight on, use braided lines also.

Get a low mileage set and use decent pads, bedded in properly.
I also use a late 90s NT650V Deaville 5/8" master cylinder.
Two-finger braking you can easily make the front tyre chirp with. If the GS850 wasn't such a heavy brute it would probably do stoppies.

The alternative is the Salty Monk conversion as on here.

There is a link to the thread about Twinpot caliper upgrades and larger rotors below in my signature. They are a massive upgrade over even the latest of the GS series brakes...

Thanks for the advice folks.
