swap post brakes onto a pre

[Gmc310]

Hey All,
looking on ebay at post front calipers, the pads look to have more surface area than my pre pads, does anyone know if they would, swap over, has anyone done this? i did a search but didnt see anything, just looking for input, THANKS

The mounting is different on the forks. You would need custom brackets to fix this. In that case, you could use any front calipers you wanted, like from GSXR or something.

Or... you could swap out the front end (triples, forks, so on) for a post front end.

98+ brake calipers suck compared to pre 98 calipers. I don't care about "surface area". The pre 98 calipers are dual opposed pistons. The 98+ calipers are not. Stick with the pre 98 calipers.
