WTB GT 750 forks and brake caliper

[vmxwinn]

Looking to buy a set of 750 forks and a left caliper for a dual disk conversion on my GT550. Anyone have any of these parts they want to part with I would much appreciate it. Send me a PM.

Thanks

Which model 550 do you have? The later ones have the correct legs and the middle ones need the left only.you will also need a new master cylinder for twin discs - marked 'D' underneath. Suzuki GS calipers and M/S fit too.

I have a 74'. It was Spamy's bike that I bought not long ago.

One of my fork tubes has some pitting so i want to replace it. Also I want the stiffer 750 springs as my front end is to soft.

What GS calipers bolt on? Or is there even a newer caliper that bolts on for better stopping power?

And with the master cylinder I'm going to try a 13mm bore unit with braided lines. Trying to get read of that wooden feeling. Got my eye on a few disks, ebay. Thx

Try CBR600F2 (?) disk on spacers plus SV650 calipers on adapters.

Thanks Guys for the replies. TZ375 that is a great link! So CBR600 F2 rotors look like a good way to go. Loose weight and better friction coefficient sounds

I was looking at several of my bikes in the garage measuring the caliper bolt spread. The GT has a spread of 75mm. KTM Brembo's have a 64mm spread, and has a fat flat forged mounting bracket that looks like it can easily redrilled and tapped to a new location. Might work well.

Still need 750 forks though for the left side caliper mount.

I've got a pair of GS1000 calipers and also m/s on the GT550. Late type 550 forks.
I believe GS750 calipers fit too. The left GT750 calipers are not commonly found as the 550 owners buy them to double up!
