Default Brake Caliper Upgrades?
My '89 needs at least one new caliper in the front. I searched, but found nothing. Are there calipers from any other bikes can be used as an upgrade? Thanks

Yes you can get used pretty cheap on ebay. I'm not really up for a fork swap...yet. Hopefully stainless lines will be enough to perk the front up a bit. Thanks for your thoughts

The stainless lines make a huge difference. The stock lines are rubber and suffer from expansion under load making the brakes spongy at best. You will love the difference.
