    GS500E front end / brakes

    I'm helping a friend with a custom vintage road racer. Most of the rolling chassis has been sourced but still need a few things to finish it up. Bear in mind the bike has a GS500E swingarm and wheels, so the goal is to utilize whatever is already there as much as possible to keep costs down.

    Forks - GS500E/F forks without clamps, or an entire forkset that will easily accept a GS500E wheel. (Later generation Katana cartridge forks would be slick). As it's a vintage racer, USD conversions are out of the question.

    Brakes - Need the whole shooting match, masters and calipers. Rotors will be needed if going with a non GS500 front end. SV650 front calipers work too, only need the right side. Radial bits are cool, but illegal.

    GS500E axles, chain adjuster blocks, spacers, etc.
