What rotors will bolt up to a GT 550/750 Hub

In my never ending quest to make an old bike New(er) again, Im looking to upgrade the front brakes ( to SV or Katana) rather than design and make a new caliper.

My Katana Rotors are 5 hole, and I noticed that GS1100/1000 rotors are 6 hole. Who can tell me if they will bolt up? It doesnt have to be a Suzuki rotor either.

Stock GT rotors are too thick to use with my Katana Calipers, let alone spacing the rotor out and an adapter plate to mount said caliper.

You're not alone on this quest...


GS, GSX rotors will not only bolt straight up, but (I think) will work with either caliper - GT or GS/GSX.
Like this:

There was also mention made of a Kawasaki rotor that fits as well, do a search on the site and see what turns up?

This type bolts up directly as well and has the floating rivets and slots.
A slightly better design than the spiral slotted 'Y'spoked previous version.

the caliper mounts have a different bolt centre so you'll have to keep the gt calipers.
i have dual gt calipers and holy rotors on gs wheels using gs750 master and hoses.
it's acceptable for my purposes but i'm sure gs rotors would improve it alot.

I'm in the process of mounting a pair of CBR600 rotors and SV650 calipers on my GT750. I just began taking measurements today and it "appears" that I'll have to make a 1mm thick sleeve for the hub and redrill the rotor mounting holes. The difference weight is impressive.

So, does this mean that a GS rotor might just as easily work on a GT500 too?

Probably, I put one on a '77 GT380.
