Gpz750 unitrac brake conversion?

#1 PostAuthor: dixiethedog » Sun Dec 30, 2012 3:01 pm

Ive gotten myself a gpz750 uni trac,with one knackered caliper on the front. Does anybody know if any more modern brakes will bolt onto the forks? Im not sure off hand of the measurements,as the bike is in storage a few miles from home.

I've just measured my uni calipers and they're 72mm between mounting centres .

Thanks all.
Steve,I need to go see which side is damaged,and I shall get back to you. Fitting a replacement sounds a bit quicker than messing on with other parts.
Mind you,Ive a complete gsxr11 usd front end,and a Hayabusa one too with 6pot brakes and an aprilia thou front end...and a zxr usd front end..and a pair of non usd Yam fj12 front ends...and a thunderace front end...lol.
Anybody would think im a bike breakers but im not,im just a hoarder! :D
