My rebuild is not going forward just now so my question is .
Does anyone know where I cam get a pair of conversion brackets to fit a set of radial calipers to standard gsx1400 forks.
As there is so much choice I've no idea which to get .
I'll be putting the standard (updated internals back on for this summer)
Thanks in advance  :cheers:

They'll do just fine .
I know a good painter if they get scabby.
I'm just going to put the b/w back on the road for the summer with its original front end and mess with it in the winter .

Seth, Masterbates a while ago had full set up for sale. Worth a PM, hasnt been here a while. Freight a bit from here. His set up worth checking in history.

Vince (Veemanzero) had a radial set up I believe but he hasn't been on here for a long time but if you check his posts there might be some info on there.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Not sure they will fit.  The Hayabusa Tokico 6 pot calipers have different hole centres to the 1400 ones.

I have a 2003 GSX1400 owned since new (Blue and White of course).  I have a 1977 Suzuki GT380 café racer and A Japanese import Yamaha XG250 Tricker.  I'm interested in anything mechanical.  Was an aircraft technician / inspector, but I took early retirement - because I could!

I've found that HEL do a kit for the gsx1400 to take radial calipers.
£199 for the pair.
I'm sure I could get cheaper but with postage and possible import taxes ECT I think I go for the HEL ones .

@seth
Don't forget to check the calipers size (between the 2 mounting bolts) against the brackets size: the brackets I got from HEL are made to fit 100mm calipers, not 108. There is good chances that bking calipers are 100mm, though, I guess.
Also, be prepared to possibly spend some time to find the right size for the spacers between the calipers and the brackets  :)

Cheers!
