Calipers in front of or behind fork legs

<< < (2/2)

ChrisOnABike:
I'm just getting into this project, picked up the bike last week.  I found and ordered a set of forks from a '78 GL-1000 so I'll be working on getting that set up for the braking system.  I'm planning about two years for this project, no rush on it, just need something I can fiddle with when I need to get away from daily stuff.  I'll try to get some pics up as I go.

Right now I can say that the plan is to head towards this direction:

with a lot of side-tracked directions thanks to google images and all who have done this before me.

Bryanj:
No real world problem although they must have been OK originaly or Honda would not have done it that way!

On an old 500 four before the 550 came in I had one caliper in front and one behind

ChrisOnABike:
I'll bet you're right, they would be fine because I'm sure Honda knew what they were doing.    Still… aesthetics and a little extra strength never hurt (much).
