Sunstar Discs

Anyone know which 310mm Sunstar discs fit the same bolt pattern as the '83 Katana?

Re: 18" or other wheel size conversion

Re: Larger diameter brake discs

"easy/bolt-on discs in a larger diameter - using the stock front wheel" so I get that the short version of your reply is "no".

Larger diameter brake discs

I am thinking of updating the front end of my '83/1100K. I already did the RaceTech front fork conversion and I have been thinking of going Brembo 4-piston up front. But doing that would be a waste of time with saucer-sized discs and I was wondering if there are easy/bolt-on discs in a larger diamet...

Re: 18" or other wheel size conversion

Are there any instructionals on remounting the gauge billet to that top yoke? And with the wheel size change, what are the ground/cornering clearance dow...

18" or other wheel size conversion

I have seen a lot of Katanas with other-than-stock wheel sizes, but I never hear of anyone trying to create the proper rake and trail to keep the bike from being a tricky, lethal handling miscreant. I've never seen "corrective" triple clamps or anything else on these machines. What's the real story?...
