Guys am building a h1b for Nick Joy and caliper is shagged. After looking at price of new piston and overhaul kit plus powder coating AND time consumed a pattern Z1 caliper seems the way to go! Will it fit?? I think so but want to be 100% sure ....and will it be any better than the original one ie was the original Z1 caliper better than the h1 caliper ....again thanks in advance Rob.

Nick has kept this quiet. Why does he want a 500? No idea if the caliper will fit Rob.

the early Z1 caliper is the same as the S series (round black decal one) upto 75, and that one wont fit on the H1 or H2,..

checkout Tony dvd,

and at at 2.27 pause it, yall have to ask higgsy how they fit,..could be later Z uns or even z1000,...

Yes

He must have changed over the fork sliders as well to the 76 version? The caliper hole centres are miles different as of course you will well know JP
