IM looking for a dual caliper mount for rear wheel. Can't find one besides the ultima one. Don't like it. Hope you guys have some ideas

 

I don't remember which company exactly but since I read the article in THBC a few mos ago about one of their guys doing a dual rear caliper I noticed that a few have put them on the market. I know it had something to do with Fab Kevin, might even want to check that sight. Sorry, all I got.

 

I've seen a few around but like mine we've all made them ourselves . My rear setup running a 10" rotor and 4 piston J&B calipers . I'm going to redo it with a set of Bremba's off the rear of the Ducaties , more compact and pads don't cost your youngest child .

 

Once I flnd a mount. I'm going to use two front brakes from a busa and a 11" front rotor off a street glide. I'm think I might have to make the bracket as well.

 

Yah you'll have to with that setup & those calipers . I did a couple mock up's out of plywood before I settled on the final design . Jig saw and a router can go a long way getting it right , gives you a idea what the final product will look like setup on a wheel . That doesn't always come across well on paper during the design phase . You may also find some of the import calipers have weird offset mounting that make a conversion too much work for the effort . BMW as well as Ducatie use Bremba's , I've done a couple retrofits using them they seem to be easier with the mount issue than others . keep us updated I live for that kinda stuff , feel free to PM if want to kick ideas around . Devils advocate would have helped me avoid a bit of grief I didn't foresee a time or two .

 

Sweet hook-up

 

What size master cylinder did u use for that setup. That's a good idea of using plywood. Never thought of that. I usually cut more or less what I want then hit with a grinder.

 

3/4" old iron style MC , later alum units didn't act right and I'm pushing 8 pistons with the present setup , acts almost like anti lock brakes I can hit it hard and not lock up but it'll damn near throw you out of the seat it hauls you down so fast .

Doing mock ups with wood or cardboard has saved me a couple times , get it all setup and it looks like crap and discovering problems with clearances or other stuff fitting in well .

 

you use to be a sheet metal guy?????
always used cardboard radius on rolling plate fer tanks

 

Yeah if u look.in my garage link we built the buell bobber. Made frame oil bag fender tank it weighs 345 with HD springer. Just never needed to use plywood. Usually make small parts in lathe.
