With your setup you have the option of running the original 340mm disc with just one radial caliper? Or will the GSXR caliper not fit. Obviously one of the advantages of the radial calipers is with a few spacers and different bolts you can change disc diameter easily.
Yes I can, but to get the caliper off, you need to remove the disc as it is too bulky.

The more I use the S1 the more I get to think that it may not need double discs depending on the weight penalty etc (particularly in the unsprung weight). Be interesting to see what difference the forks make over X1 forks which are very good in my opinion.
I will weigh a GSXR fork and X1 fork tonight to get weights, but I already know the GSXR fork is a lot lighter. It is the Showa evolution.
The additional caliper and disc are obviously heavier than the fork weight loss, but by using the GSXR wheel (which I am not but you plan to do) it may tip the balance.
I am in agreement with you, I certainly don't need double discs the way I ride, I hardly use the front brake, but I was doing it as something to do. And if edd had not dropped round last weekend, I probably would not have moved any further forward with it. But everyone's a winner, cos the forks that were propping SoG up , a brand new set of X1 forks, will be helping sillyb get his bike back on the road...
