i hope your bike has mag wheels i found out the hard way, spoke wheels are wider comeing from the hub and the 6-piston calipers are wider than the single piston thats stock
6 piston calipers usually work with mag wheel only as there is not enough clearance for the inner pistons to clear the spokes.
You are also limited by the width of the forks (you can only space out the disc so far before it hits the fork leg).
The only 6 piston I have put on a spoked wheel was on my CB 750 SOHC (with a wider GL 1000 front end), even with the wider forks and spaced out discs, the clearences(fork leg to disc, calipers to spoke) are still very tight.
Heres a link (theres a KZ 900 dual disc in there)

Fish, your kits are awesome but I guess I'm taking the poor man's route and making them myself. I've done springer brackets also with tokico calipers that have come out pretty good too. Having a cnc mill and lathe helps alot. Not mine of course but I have a boss who's very much into motos too.

Thanks for the compliment,Fish, your kits are awesome but I guess I'm taking the poor man's route and making them myself.
If you have the means to do it yourself, go for it.
If someone has the means to do it themself and still pays someone else to do it for them, that would be the "stupid man's route".:laugh:
I've never made the hat to fix the rotor to (manual mill, manual lathe)but yours looks real nice. If I had to make something like that on my machines, that would be a lot of turning handles and checking dials. Sounds like too much work to me!(now,if I had a CNC...hmmm.... )
My next project will be AP Racing 6 pistons on a 81 Honda CBX front end for a business associate. The butt-ugly Comstar factory Honda mags often have the same-ish dimensions as the spoke wheels so this one may be "interesting". I'm waiting on the CBX wheel to arrive now.
Man they are some nice light-weight calipers!!
