I bought original new pipe (still available) so same design as stock, preparing for dual disc brake on my K7 too. Just still did not find caliper and holder stuff... I plan to use GL1000 MC

You say that you have bought an original new pipe? That must be for the std LH side as I am not aware that Honda ever did one for the RH side?

There is no need to fit a GL1000 MC, as the original K series MC is fine. But if you feel happier with a GL1000 MC then do so.

yes, it is LH side no pb to adapt it to RH side

My mate has K7 with dual disc setup with stock MC, it brakes really good, but I do not like long travel of lever and soft feeling
