GSXR1100 calipers fit straight on the stock forks, no brackets needed.

Finally fitted fatty front forks found for free.

got the Slingy upside down forks a few weeks ago, installed new seals, had the wheel and discs lying around at home, Tokico 6-pots borrowed from next winter's project, one afternoon of messing around and now Fatty has working suspension and good brakes. All i cost me was fork seals and fork oil.

Coolio. I meant if you want to fit a three spoke wheel like bandit or slingy with big discs youll need adaptors :-)

Teapot (GSX600/750F) discs fit on a Slingy wheel, and then adaptors are not needed.

Thats usecul that. Cheers. Do you need to make wheel or disc spacers

new bearings in the Slingy wheel (with the ID of the EFE spindle), some new spacers in the fork bottoms (8mm longer each) and a new tube between the wheel bearings (16mm shorter than the EFE one), modify the speedo drive a bit and the SLingy wheel fits in the EFE forks. As said use Teapot discs, then the Nissin 4-pots from the GSX-R fit, with only 2mm spacers to move the calipers a bit inwards.

it's the set up i had on my EFE for 5 years, until i fitted the upsd forks last week.

... that is exactly the way I did it !
I have SV 650 discs instead of Teapot´s

The fork is upgraded with progressive springs, air chamber 135mm.
