The other day I spotted a pair of caliper brackets that allow 65mm calipers to be mounted to 40mm forks, on 'FleaBay'....

Of course now I want a pair I can't trace 'em....

Can anyone help,

....know where I can get them'

....know who makes them


............or whatever

I'd recommend going for 4-piston calipers if you are upgrading, well worth it.

Thanks Frank,

I've also been pointed at www.ducatisaarland.de but s**t they're expensive. The site is all in German too, no translator, but I managed to wade my way through it.

I've actually got a set of polished P4's off a 999 ( the only 900 miles from new). Just getting all the lines made up now in "Norn' Iron"

would it not be worth considering moving to the later non adjustable forks that already have the 65mm caliper mounts.
We have converted several front wheels to take the larger spindle by fitting new bearings and spacers, so all that is then required are the forks and spindle.

I know what you mean Kev' but Ive got two sets of Marzocchi forks (both 40mm spacing), one set with twin caliper mounts and one single. The twin caliper forks and my rear shock have gone to Maxtons for servicing (and new springs in the forks) so it will be cheaper to fit brackets.

I may even be able to get some brackets made up..... If I can get them done AT THE RIGHT PRICE then I may be able to get some extra sets done.....

Then other will benfit as well....

well should you get some brackets done at a reasonable price let me know please. Alex

Thought you would have a CAD drawing to go with it by now Frank

It looks like there's a market for 'em then

I have also Googled and found two or three others in the US and Italy
