I don't remember which company exactly but since I read the article in THBC a few mos ago about one of their guys doing a dual rear caliper I noticed that a few have put them on the market. I know it had something to do with Fab Kevin, might even want to check that sight. Sorry, all I got.

I've seen a few around but like mine we've all made them ourselves . My rear setup running a 10" rotor and 4 piston J&B calipers . I'm going to redo it with a set of Bremba's off the rear of the Ducaties , more compact and pads don't cost your youngest child .

Yah you'll have to with that setup & those calipers . I did a couple mock up's out of plywood before I settled on the final design . Jig saw and a router can go a long way getting it right , gives you a idea what the final product will look like setup on a wheel . That doesn't always come across well on paper during the design phase . You may also find some of the import calipers have weird offset mounting that make a conversion too much work for the effort . BMW as well as Ducatie use Bremba's , I've done a couple retrofits using them they seem to be easier with the mount issue than others . keep us updated I live for that kinda stuff , feel free to PM if want to kick ideas around . Devils advocate would have helped me avoid a bit of grief I didn't foresee a time or two .

What size master cylinder did u use for that setup. That's a good idea of using plywood. Never thought of that. I usually cut more or less what I want then hit with a grinder.

Doing mock ups with wood or cardboard has saved me a couple times , get it all setup and it looks like crap and discovering problems with clearances or other stuff fitting in well .
