I believe they are the same caliper for the 250 and 500. If I knew the shape, I could get you one allot cheaper... if not, I guess Ben's bracket is the way to go... although Jamoo's brake design could be made with flat stock from Crappy tire and a hack saw.

Let me know.I would be very interested in them. ZX6 calipers and M/C already received from ebay. I have two sets of calipers now. More surface area than on the stock H2 pads that scare the hell out of me everytime the red pedestrian light starts flashing at the traffic light. . Put me down for a pair of them, 2 pieces. Thanks Andrew. brawney

OK, I'll getter done. Since you'll need the M10 tap anyways to modify the caliper, I'll just get him to burn the tap drill size in the bracket to keep the cost down.

Thanks Andrew. brawney With 2 sets of these brakes on the front of your bike, the only thing that will scare the hell out of you is when the front tire locks up at 50mph.... ;D

You guys will love the stopping power of the EX brake!
Dual caliper installation might be a bit of overkill, but would be a one finger stop for sure. I try to keep my bike as light as possible hence my single set up.

Hey Guys, I have a great memory...only a bit short. I can't remember who wanted the brake links. Off the top of my head I can remember the following: Brawney - 4 (I wish I had this many conversions to do... ) Giver - 2 T.T. nut - 1 Zambia - 1 Did I forget someone... Just 2 left....

I have made my own braided steel front brake lines for my '74 H1. I measured the existing lines and bought the brake line by the foot at a local bike shop. They also sold the fittings. They were either Russell or Earl's. I can't remember now. The trick to cutting the lines without separating the braided steel from the plastic line inside is the wrap it with duct tape before cutting. It is easy and your lines fit exactly the way you want them to.
This was a bit cheaper than pre-made lines and it allows you to make custom line from the master cylinder the right length if you have lower bars.
I think automotive speed shops also sell all of the right lines and fittings. Just upgrading the lines made a big difference on my bike.

No pictures specifically showing the lines. Construction of my new garage is still going on and I can't get near the H1 for a few weeks. All of my bikes and parts are in three 20' X 10' metal storage containers in my yard till it's done. Not being able to work on my bikes is driving me nuts and I am suffering from withdrawl.
I'll post pictures when I can.
