They appear to be the same calipers.
Think (struggling to remember any other model) that the Goldwing was the only model with spoked wheel and twin disc fitment of that era. Some of the others that worked in dealers will know.
It went from 750F1 with single disc spoked wheel, then Goldwing came with that caliper arrangement, shortly followed by Comstars with twin discs on the 750F2 so I think it's unique to that bike. May be wrong though.

Post by: MarkCR750 on September 30, 2017, 07:53:59 AM: I'm sure they'll all end mint as your 750 was, I've started to hanker for a 400 4, had a burgundy one with gold pinstripe when I was 18, F2 if memory serves, cracking bikes, get some photos up of the scrambler when you can Yozzer 👍
