Smokin, I recently snagged a GS750 front end for my bike. Could you explain your brake upgrade on purple passion? Did you have to fab a new mount for the caliper? Source of the disc? Etc

The brake disks I like are from a Ducati 320mm diameter. They are a 6 bolt patern. it doesn't match the old suzuki hub but since it also needs to be spaced out I made a spacer with offset bolt pattern. Here is the pic from Cafe a la Carte. The one in the pic below is stock Ducati (Brembo) but the wave rotor on Purple Passion was either Braking or EBC I would have to check the bike.

Then as far as the brake caliper mount, yes I chose to use an early GSX-R/Bandit 4 piston unit I had in the bin. I made an adapter that you can see in this pic.

Blue, I am all-in on your front brake upgrade! I think anyone trying to get more performance from our bikes should start with a front brake upgrade. I'm running a twin piston caliper from a Suzuki 650 twin and a 290mm disc, the mount mod was easy. (Compared to some other things I've done on it, like bigger tank, or solo sprung seat, or higer gearing.) I will be switching over to a 16'' front wheel and 100/90 16 tire soon and the 3'' smaller wheel will make the brake even stronger.
Having a strong front brake makes for a much more relaxing ride.
