I'm looking at getting some straps for my bike. a friend with an 03 1k has some and he said he had to get an adaptor for them because of the front brakes on the 2003 gsxr 1000. I have a 2001 gsxr 600, do I need the adaptors too??

Nope. I had a 2002 750 and didn't need adapters. As long as your brake caliper bolts point out, not towards the bike, you are fine.

You need a special bracket if you have radial mount calipers,if not,the just bolt right up

The brakes on his 600 are different from the 05 1000. The bracket would do no good.

a buddy of mine did that and it worked for about 4 races then it broke on a launch, so id have to say just go and buy one from somewhere to be safe.

Most tech inspections won't allow you to have a ratchet style strap, and definately won't allow hooks. The straps must be bolted on. You won't need an adaptor bracket on your 600. Brocks Performance has straps for $22.
