front brakes
does the front master cylinder operate the two front rotors? or is there a rear/front link system?

Re: front brakes
Front master,one rotor.Rear master,rear and the other front....
I think the front master operates the left rotor...not positive tho.
I hope you really don't have a 1992 gl1100A..

Re: front brakes
83 was the first year of the linked brakes, 82 aspy was the first to use dual piston calipers. 

Ride safe, Todd
