Brake calipers, which way round?

(1/2) > >>

My 1978 CB750 F2 came with the forks, calipers etc already off the bike.

I'm now trying to fit the calipers and they just don't want to clear the disc. It's a twin-disc set-up and I'm trying to mount them behind the fork leg with the lugs facing rearwards, is this right? Is there some sort of additional bracket or spacer that I'm missing?

Unfortunately my Haynes manual is totally useless as there are no references to twin-discs apart from the exploded diagram of the caliper.

On the single disc CB750s I've seen the caliper sits on the n/s of the bike, in front of the fork leg.

Many, many thanks. Although mine are stamped L & R I've looked and they actually fit the opposite way to the stampings!  ???

You sure you ain't got the fork legs 180o out and you're trying to fit the calipers like old Kwaks  ....above the fork?? :o
