I was looking over my bike today and have always wondered if you can take a right fork leg and put it on the left side and have dual front brakes. If I get a brake system off a katana and put on there, I think with some spacing it might maybe work but I wanted to see if any of you have tried it or know of something that would prevent it from ever happening.  Thanks.

If you're going to put the Katana Brakes on why not just swap to a whole Katana front end?

I *think* a bandit 400 leg/brake caliper/rotor  (left) will work for you if you feel like cobbling the brakes together... But the bandits tubes might be larger ( I remember something was different about them..)

Probably hard to find a good one/set off a bandit 400 anyway...

So.....I'd lean towards a Katana front end swap...

go for it....but the left caliper will be in front of the fork

why do you need a scond rotor....the gs will pull the back wheel of the ground.....what more do you need?

I picke dup a set of kat forks for 50 bucks off ebay and sold my stock gs forks for 90

that leaves 40 bucks for the calipers and rotors

Hmmm, I think the bandit's have bigger forks, like 41mm.  I would do a front end swap but then you have to figure out what to do for a headlight, gauges.  I was just throwing around an idea cause Ive always wondered if it would work.

you could always have someone weld the caliper mounts onto the fork leg

That would work too, never thought about that.

be very careful with that, the fork leg is cast then machined to specs,i had a crack below the caliper mount on mine, just enough to leak fork oil through onto caliper. had it welded by a pro, looked good, but the walls are so thin the basemetel malformed inside and i couldnt put the tub back into the leg, the bushing would hit and lock.  The GS brakes are good but here is couple issues i found.  

1 the rotors are expensive and arent as plentiful as the kat600's in my opinion.

2 im positive the caliper designe helps add to rotor warpage and uneven pad wear as the slide rails get worn, rusty/dirty and bind progressively more with age.  whereas opposed pistons give equal pressure from both sides of disc and the caiper doesnt need to shift

3 the katana rotors may be smaller in diameter but not by a whole lot  and i still feel 2 rotors doing the work of one makes for better brakes with less stress on a single given rotor. under braking, your also stressing/flexing both forks insted of twisting one like the single disc setup

ive got complete front brake sysem, i need kat forks,wheel and rotors now.
