Hey guys. I bought the wrong calipers for my forks like every other dumbo out there. In my defense I havent had a front brake in 15 years.
Can someone knowledgeable tell me if there is a purchasable adapter that exists for my situation? I do not know the exact years for my forks only that they may be late 70s. The dual disc calipers that I bought are for 84-99 and I cant get them to mount on the lowers. Im running two 10 discs on a mag wheel and there is like a millimeter of clearance between the disc and the fork lowers but they still spin freely.
Can`t help with adaptor
I believe you need `77-`83 calipers
available aftermarket (V-Twin) chrome or black
see below
Ah okay, I am learning that now. I got the 84-99 calipers but I need the 77-83 ones. Im currently making a bracket for a pm caliper instead to see if theyll work. Thank you for the help. Will update if needed
