Front Brake / Line / Caliper improve/change

Hi
I have a 2010 DL650 and wish to upgrade the front brakes. I have completely rebuilt the forks and steering head bearings.
I have an old set of BMW R1150 Brembo callipers with 65mm mounting holes.
While I rebuild the callipers I was going to order the adaptors

I also have a master cylinder from a Honda ST1100 which ran twin 4 pot callipers. Will get SS hoses made.

My questions are: -
Am I missing anything and does it seem an OK upgrade?
Are there 4 pot Suzuki callipers that would bolt straight on and keep it all Suzuki ?

Thanks

Don
