    Sorry to hijack the thread but i too am planning on fitting a set of RS34's. I have a head from a 81 GS1000G so it has the bigger inlet ports but what inlet rubbers do i need to get for the RS34's?  Is it standard GS1000 rubbers or from something different?

    TIA

    can i ask what gains you will get from it ? 

    not much to be honest. yes it is lighter but i doubt i will notice any difference with that. it is a far better caliper than the old gsxr caliper so the brake performance will be better, plus i think it looks much better, in myy opinion anyway.

    ok, so an update on the rear caliper.I gave up trying to find a better underslung caliper so decided to go with a top mounted version, but lighter and better.

    After much research and investigation i opted for a 2006 H*nda CBR600 rear caliper. Modified the hanger bracket to fit the slot in the swingarm and made a couple of spacers for the axle and hey presto, looks better, (i think), lighter than the other one and feels much better, although i havent ridden it yet. Smaller 220mm disc also sheds a few grams.

    Sound deadening

    Its not there just for sound deadening, its also there to absorb the impact should your chain, and or front sprocket decides to break and try and smash its way through the cover. A snapped chain will potentially smash a big hole in the crankcase.

    Thanks for the info Wraith. my caliper does not have the torque arm, the bracket fits in a slot in the swingarm. i want to keep it underslung as it is.

    I suppose i could always just machine off the lug on the caliper for the torque arm.

    I will have to measure the diameter of the disc, i cant remember what it is offhand.

    I want to replace the rear caliper on my GS1000 with a smaller, lighter caliper. It has a GSXR1100W caliper and bracket on there at the moment.

    Was wondering if anyone knows of a direct replacement, either suzuki or otherwise that is smaller and lighter than the stock item?

    TIA.

    you gs boys have it good, bloody guillari seats for katanas seem to come in the opposite of henry fords reccomendation, any colour you like so long as its not black. ive seen red, white, silver, blue and multi coloured versions, but the one think ive not seen is a solid black, no poncy badges and flashes plain seat. ive got one, but its got white piping on it and red lettering, very very 1980's.

    had mine recovered in black suede.

    fork spacer ?

    having the studs in also helps guide everything into place when fitting the front wheel. Assemble the wheel with the spindle, speedo drive and all the spacers and just guide it into place, locate the bottom caps and catch the nuts on the studs. line it all up and tighten up, spindle nut last, of course.
