Adding the rotor is easy. The stock GS wheel has the lug holes drilled and tapped for it already.

The hard part is adding another caliper to make it useful. That requires replacing the fork legs with something that has twin brake calipers. Various Katanas, Bandits, SVs, all the way up to late model GSXRs.

Problem is THAT requires some machine work to the triple clamps and steering stem (search "fork swap").

Those forks are from a 89-97 Katana 600/750.
