    Rotor / Caliper upgrade 81 GS1100E

    Hey All, looking for some recommendations.
    After much deliberation, I'm leaning towards staying with the Stock Forks... sourcing GSXR/Bandit forks, geometry issues and stock aesthetics are issues I've contemplated.

    Curious if there are good success stories with an aftermarket (wilwood, brembo, etc) rotors/caliper setup that provides a decent performance bump without sacrificing nostalgia?

    open to suggestions!
    thanks!

    Check out Salty Monk's upgrade. He's a member here. He has adapters that allow for more modern dual pot calipers and discs.

    When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

      it will work on your bike if it’s axle under fork rather than leading axle.

        I’ve got in my notes dl1000 triple tree with a bandit front end is a bolt on..... I haven’t done this myself, so I offer it only as something to look into.
        You’d prob want to match the rear wheel as well.
