F2 rear brake conversion
« on: July 04, 2006, 09:56:27 AM »
At a glance it looks like the DOHC 750 rear twin piston brake caliper would fit on my 77 F2. My OE is sticking and am looking for possible upgrades, before I just rebuild what I have.

I've got the '82 DOHC twin pistons on my front end(78 750F). The calipers do not fit the 78 mounting brackets so I had to use the '82 brackets, otherwise a bolt on affair. I'm looking into putting the dual pistons on the rear as well. It looks like you would need the '82 bracket/spacer, caliper, and stabilizing rod to do the rear conversion.

    I have no idea if it would fit correctly and have only been going on the assumption that the twin piston caliper won't bolt on to the 77-78 rear bracket.

How do the fronts (82F) compare with stock? Did you use the original 78 master cylinder? Any other details worth mentioning?
