Hmmm...I have access to a full fabricating shop and even some 1 1/2" billet titanium lying around. I'm shure that would make an adequate caliper adapter! Great idea Steve, and yes, i now recall it was your post i saw in another forum. My question for you is have you fully tested your adapter with spacers? It sounds like there could be lots of room for movement, flex and viberation when using spacers instead of milling the off-set from one solid piece. Also, in regard to using a sport-bike type calliper,these are mounted radially( behind the fork-leg). I would have to use the left one from a dual-calliper system and turn it around to mount it to the right front fork-leg on the GS. When the brakes are applied on radial systems, the callipers are under compression, applying the load directly to the fork-leg. When i flip the calliper around, the calliper is under tension when the brakes are applied. A calliper with very heavy castings and lots of material around the bolt-holes must be chosen so that it isn't torn apart under heavy braking (Verrrryyy Baaaddd!!) I post this only in theory not having tried this yet, what are your thoughts?
