Finishing off the braking system, it’s now got wavey discs which I think were around in the period. Thought of updating the brakes, but the 6 pot calipers I don’t think were any better, and Suzuki went back to 4 pots with 8 individual pads on the later GSXRs which are too late.
Don’t think you can upgrade without spending silly money, although modern radial brakes are far better, the Brembos on my Aprilia RSV were astonishing at the time. I think they came later.
The rear brake master cylinder has an integral reservoir I haven’t seen before. Not sure what to do yet as you can’t see the fluid level – race bikes usually just have a clear tube. Anyone else seen one of these?
Anyway the fluid front and back will be changed before it’s tested, and not just the master cylinders (which is a well known trade short cut).
I’ve sourced a S/H race seat off Ebay, although you can buy them locally from A16 race parts, along with belly pans.
It’s going to be a red and black scheme as the XR69’s were, not the current Suzuki Classic blue.
