kz900/dual disk will this setup work????? was created by trianglelaguna
I mounted a caliper from my pair of updated ones next to my current stock kz900 caliper and took some pitures...the disks seem to be similar and although thinner they are the same dia and the same offset from the bolt pattern to the face/offset...the calipers brake line mounts are different a tad...but the caliper seems to sit in the same place I have a dual brake line and banjos...splitter...i will swap and reverse the forks...the disks i am going to run,in the picture on my bench are the drilled set
my question is
Do these look to be a working swap..i have never updated a single disk to dual and am hoping for a heads up of things folks ran up against
thanks

Looks like the set up should work ok. I think the dual disc masters are a bigger dia for the piston. At least on the smaller bikes they are. 1/2 vrs 5/8" dual caliper being 5/8". It may take quite a bit of lever travel to get the pressure, but it may be a different Feel. Maybe better, maybe not. Suggest stainless lines on it, it will firm up the feel a lot.

You will love the difference. Then you can play with Pad friction. I like the Double Sintered Bronze, HH. Got it front and rear on both my street bikes.
