I am looking for a reasonable upgrade from stock. My rotors are warped and I need head bearings also. What is the most economical way. The bike is basically stock with a modified Morley stage 7 kit. Any ideas?:ummm::ummm:

for 43mm front forks go with R1 bluespots. Do a search on the forum and you'll find all the info

1) get some arashi rotors off of ebay a bunch of us have ran them without any probs. or hit up sean and/or kyle--i'm sure they have some acceptable ones.
2) bolt on some r1 4-piston calipers and find a 14mm master to squeeze them with. i've got a set of these blue dots in my parts cabinet that i bought off of ebay that i am not going to use because i went with some 6-pots that came off of a yzf750. they are yours if you want. $45 shipped.

Isn't the '92 Vmax 41mm ?

In that case use Seans adapters for busa gen1 forks

Your best bet would be 'busa calipers and Sean's adapters.
Lots of people here have used the chinese ebay wave rotors without any issues so those seem to be an economical replacement (and give that trick wave look also).

Here is my '92 with a set of Sean's adapters and 04 Hayabusa calipers. With SS lines I can now stop on par with a modern bike by using just 2 fingers.
UPDATE: With the addition of Carrozzeria wheels/ radial tires the beraking should be even better!

heres a link the brackets i bought allow you to upghrade all three rotors to r1 style rotors or newer vmax rotors. the third bracket uses the stock brake caliper in the rear anbd moves it outward for use of thelarger rotor

After talking (A Lot) with Sean Morley, I was between the Brembo's or the 'Busa's. I found a set of 'Busa's on ebay with the Morley brackets and rotors for my '92 for $165. I ordered them and will post when installed. Thanks for all the advice!
