ATE Upgrade Caliper Adapter Only
This adapter allows you to replace the original ATE swinging single piston caliper with a modern radial 4 piston caliper. This Part needs to be used with the R90X hub adapter, sold on this site, and a 320mm disc, but I'm offering it individualy for convenience.
Mounting bolts are included.
Compatable with 1974-84 airheads equiped with swinging ATE calipers
/6,/7, AND 90S R80 and early R100's

DETAILS
Note: Some modification of the fork leg is required with this design. Sold as a Hub adapter and caliper adapter for one side only.
Brake calipers, rotors and brake hoses are not included with this set. Brake hoses will require a 10mm banjo fitting at the caliper end, so the metal pipe can nolonger be used.
As a single brake this system works well with the original 13-15mm master cylinder. With a dual set up a 17mm OEM mastercylinder (34 31 1 234 379) should be used or an upgrade to an 18 or 19 mm bar mounted system from a newer motorcycle. Brembo radial piston calipers provide the best clearance for spoke wheels. But will require an 18 to 19mm Master Cylinder for dual use. This design is for use with European 4 piston calipers with 100mm bolt spacing.
OTHER
Calipers Tested:
BMW S1000RR 2009 -18 perhaps other years. These have 34/34 pistons and a slim design that provide lots of clearance for spoked wheels
34 11 7 714 783 Left and 34 11 7 714 784 right.
BMW R1200 1250 S1000XR 2001-2020
34 11 8 556 205 Left and 34 11 8 556 206 right
Dual Ducati 1098,696,796,and 848 2010-13 (perhaps other years) Brembo radial 32mm 4 piston calipers will work with a 16mm Master Cylinder but will feel soft. 17mm (34 31 1 234 379) to 18 would be better for dual use. 13 to 14mm OEM Master Cylinders ar perfect for a single brake.
Several other European calipers will probably work, the above are what I have been able to test.
Rotors used, note: do not use ABS rotors, the raised tops on the buttons will not clear your fork lowers
