Twin/triple-piston caliper for 3AJ?
Hi again
Klaus, you may be able to help with this one...
I'm putting 17-inch wheels on my 3AJ for road touring, and while I'm at it thought it would be useful to upgrade the disc to a fully-floating 320mm and replace the standard weak one-pot front caliper with something with more bite.
I think I've got the disc sorted, however the caliper is more of a problem. Because of non-existant clearance on the wheel side of the caliper, only a single-sided caliper will fit. However, aftermarket 3 and 4-pot single-sided calipers cost a packet (not including the master cylinder!), so I'm looking for a standard big twin or even triple-pot to graft on using a fabricated mount. Because of the clearance issue, I think only wire-wheeled donor bikes will do (Cagiva Elefant, XTZ750, others?)
Anyone done this before? Any suggested donor bikes?
Before you say it, yes I could be spending this money on a couple of months in India but, as I said to my girlfriend - it's my money to waste!
Cheers
Barry
