Was wondering if anyone on the forum has done this caliper conversion to the front brake on an H2 and what the results were??
Thanks
H2 - EX500 brake conversion

Re: H2 - EX500 brake conversion
Hi. Thanks for that. Lovely bike. So with the calipers I guess you used the EX500 brackets, modified as required. I have heard that the later/mark2 Ex500 calipers (if there is such a thing), are the ones required. Is this correct. Also, going for twin calipers, I guess you would have gone up to the larger 5/8 master cylinder. Would that be correct? I was heading more towards the single setup as that is supposed to still give a good improvement over the standard single disc setup.
Thanks for the pics.

This set up was fitted to my H2C when i bought it 15 years ago!
Sold bike as standard & last year had it fitted to my H2.
Yes master cylinder 5/8.
I am sure one will be good.
I can lock up front
