Just wanted to say thanks to the OP for the heads up on these adapters. 

I ordered mine on Tuesday, at that time he had 4 left.

These are for the Nissin caliper, $40 shipped.  :thumb:

I'll have to look into it, the F4i stunt bike is going to be receiving a 929 front end soon   ;)  How does the caliper respond with a stock GS master cylinder?  I think I have a NOS F4i master cylinder somewhere now that I think about it...

haven't heard any complaints, and have seen a couple post saying some improvement

edit: any chance the f4i's master would fit a gs lever?

Never tried but I can dig it out this weekend if you need to know.  I had bought it when Adfalchius did a CBR Hurricane front end swap on her '96 GS.  It ended up being too big to use with the '89 clip on set up (hit the gauges).  Now that I think about it, she is running a GS master cylinder with the dual brake caliper set up so it should be more than sufficient with a single   :thumb:
