Looks good Wompy!
If you are using 1 caliper, you will probably need a tiny master cylinder as the twin 6 piston calipers use a 5/8 master cylinder. Look at the dirt bike master cylinders as they are usually smaller and for a single caliper. I've used 11 mm Magura's(usually on KTM's) on the single caliper kits I have made in the past. The Magura master cylinders usually have an adjustable lever and the adjustablity of the lever helps out alot (reguardless of the master cylinders make).

I finally got all the needed parts and supplies for the CBX 330mm / AP 6 piston caliper brake kit and got started on it.
Heres a slideshow of what is involved with making this particular kit up. It is the most involved kit I have made to date and the clearances are very tight. I will update the slide show with the caliper brackets and the complete kit when it is done (next week).

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!!

I ended up shaving the heads down on the stock KZ bolts to clear the speedo drive.
I may be able to get some allen head (button heads). What length do you need(under the head)and how tall can the head be(for clearance)?
I did finish the AP 6 piston CBX kit a few weeks ago and added a few pictures to the slide show.
I call them fishheadbigbrakes
do a search
