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

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
