    Evening gents,
    I'm in the process of upgrading my front brakes from the standard single disc on the right, to a double. I've found a European set of forks which have the two mounts, but I'm having trouble getting a caliper. So my question is, will the caliper from a Maxim (which is mounted of the left) be compatible?

    Any other comments/tips welcomed! Thanks in advance :)

    Is this is a 550?

    The 550 Max caliper is a "mirror" of the 550 Seca caliper.

    And what about '83 Maxim 750 and '83 Seca 900? Do they share the same calipers? I have troubles running my cross-reference database with my computer these days, so any help would be appreciated.
