I bought the pandemonium cycles bracket and a couple brembo gold line calipers off of eBay. I've been trying to test fit but in all the videos and pictures I've seen on pandemonium's website the mounting holes are on the bottom of the fork tubes whereas mine are on the top. I'm wondering if its even possible to fit the brembo caliper on a 75 650. Any help would be greatly appreciated I can post pictures if needed.

Thanks!
 
yup we need to see pics.

Did you get the right kit you would need the 34mm kit not the 35mm....

Some years have the calipers in front of the 34mm forks, some years behind. I think 73-75 are in front 76 is behind. The difference is minor and the kit can be installed on either type.
 
yeah I got the right kit. it just seems that the directions and reference materials don't match what i'm seeing and being very visual it's tricky for me to see it. here are some pics

I edited my post above, you can flip the tubes to put the caliper behind, but there might be "issues" with the speedo drive.
 
I can't flip the tubes because then I won't have holes to mount my new HHB fork brace. I have not done the filling yet only because if I can't mount the caliper I want to be able to sell them on eBay. I'm hoping someone on here will be able to tell me for sure that it can be done.
 
The brace should not be an issue. You remove the tubes from triples and insert them on the opposite side.
 
are you fork tube 34mm or 35mm ?( a 75 should have 34mm) there is a dif kit or the 34mm and the 35mm forks make sure you have the right kit.
 
Looks like you need to move your caliper adapter to the front side of the stock caliper mounts...that's how mine worked, 2 piston brembo mind you.
