Nope, if you read my original post that's what I wondered might be the problem i.e. I was trying to fit them back to front, but the lugs are definately pointing behind (below?) the forks. The earlier single disc CB750's actually do have the caliper sitting in front of (above) the fork so I wondred if the twin disc unit should be like that, but the pictures above clearly show it isn't.

I have just refitted the calipers to my F2. Firstly have you got the caliper brackets fitted to the forks. The calipers will actually fit either side but are handed so that the bleed nipples are uppermost. Mine actually had 2 RH calipers when i got it. It was not until i was replacing the seals and fitting new brake lines that i noticed it. I now have a pair of Goldwing GL1000 calipers fitted to the F2 brackets. I can take some photo's if it will help.
