Did the 500 use a "C" type caliper mount?

agree on stock calipers not really being up to it in racing, even with good pads and dics....

i have managed to mount alternative calipers, brembo's in my case, (but could work with lockheeds), without having to modify the leg

will dig some pics for ya'

From what I can see, it looks like the "C" type early 750 mounting lugs; they are parallel with the fork leg, while the "T" type lugs are at an angle. Got a pic somewhere showing the inside of both styles..
Found it: early on the left, late on the right.
