Has anyone had the creative ingenuity to get a second rotor on a GS without switching front ends???

Thanks

Do a search for a Katana front end swap or GSXR front end swap. There is one on Pantablo's page.

you would need the left lower leg and caliper from a early VX800, use the valve from the GS leg and install it onto a GStube, put another rotor on the left side and you should have it. there are a few parts the VX uses simular to the GS, like the dash,headlight and brakets. check it out here http://vx800.net/

I got it to work!!!

Only I used a Right GS fork leg and caliper and moved it over to the left. I had to have a custom fork brace made and I also needed to get some longer bolts and spacers to get the caliper to mount. I used the master cylender and brake lines off of a '01 F4i. It works like a dream.

If anyone else wants to do this and wants help let me know. I am going to have a couple braces made up if anyone wants one.

Thanks

I used the stock GS rim. I just took off the plastic cover on the left side and bolted on a 2nd rotor. I will try to get some pics up within a day of so.

I forgot that I had to get an extra axle spacer as well
