Does anyone make these adapters anymore, to get 65mm calipers onto 40mm mounts on the forks? i'm doing a dual brake conversion for an early monster, i've got the older forks, and a pair of newer 65mm calipers (the older 40mm calipers seem non-existent..)

of course, if someone has a RIGHT side caliper in 40mm mount just lying there, i'll be happy to take it off your hands..:)

thanx for any help/advice, just getting back to the moto scene, with this carby Monster! :)

cheers!

I may have a right side, but won't be able to check until very late today.

For the street, the older 40mm type with good pads and braided lines are plenty powerful for the street. You could sell on the 65's and look for braided lines if you don't have any or even splash out on a radial master cylinder. A radial master cylinder is not necessary but gives a little more leverage and a lot more feel. Some sintered pads from Ferodo or EBC will give some more bite.

I had a late model radial 999 m/c, Ferodo sintered pads, braided lines and the original Brembos on my old M900 and it had better brakes than some late model Japanese bikes.

Apologize for the late response. I do have a R fork.
