What's the difference between B and C model Calipers?

The forks are 36mm, approx 30 inches, with axle at the bottom. They have caliper mounts on each leg, however I'm just going to use the left side.

BUT on my B1, from the caliper it has a metal brake line with a fitting running back to another fitting which attaches to the standard rubber brake line. Not absolutely positve about the fitting being the same size as a banjo bolt...90% sure though.
The C1 has just the standard rubber brake line with the banjo bolts.
Just for info:
The 1997 B1 calipers was used on:
· H1 Mach III (1969)-->FRONT BRAKE (KH500-A8)
· H1-A (1970)-->FRONT BRAKE (KH500-A8)
· H1-B (1971)-->FRONT BRAKE (KH500-A8)
· H1-C (1972)-->FRONT BRAKE (KH500-A8)

For 1977, The Custom C model had twin discs on the front and they were moved to the back side of the forks. I don't know if they can be swapped. Perhaps rstnick could chime in on this as he is very good information source on the various changes to the Kz650 throughout the years.
Hope this helps.

Is there a difference on where the bleed screw is located?

I looked at my bikes when I got home last night.
The B model has the bleed screw directly in front of where the banjo bolt goes on the caliper and the C model has the bleed screw off to one side of the banjo bolt.
So if you used a B model caliper, behind the fork, the bleed screw would not be in an upright position to let all the air out of the caliper when you set it up.
