I am using a Brembo 4-pot caliper off a Ducati on my -77 D model.
If you want to use this caliper with a stock, spoked wheel like I do, you will need a disc with more offset (23 mm), or a disc spacer, to get clearance between the spokes and the backside of the caliper. And, by coincidence, when the disc is spaced or offset enough, the outside face of the lugs on the fork legs, and the lugs on the caliper are even. So the adapter can be a flat plate, bolted to the caliper and the fork lugs. I made my adapter from a piece of 12x100 mm flat bar 6082 alloy. The best way to do this is to cut a template from a piece of scrap plywood or other material, to get hole locations, dimensions and shape as you want it before making the adapter. All you need is a piece of suitable quality alloy, a 10 mm (or 10.2) drill bit, a drill press and a jigsaw. Even a hacksaw and hand files can be used.

You can make your own adapter plate. I made mine from 3/8" aluminum. Very easy to do, if you have a drill press and some hand tools. I also put a Brembo caliper on the back wheel.

I'm using the pandemonium. Not for a brembo but for a 4 piston star caliper. Works great and easier to use than a brembo since you don't have to file the caliper or anything. You'll have to make your own adaptor for the fork lower out of 1/4 plate but that's easy.

A picture would be nice, to see your set-up.

What master cylinder are you using for the front brake setup?

 

[Capt_Zoom]

I use the OEM stock master cylinder. Works just dandy.

For me it was cheaper to buy a new MC that was sleeker anyway than rebuild my stock one. Got the MC I used for $20 on ebay. First one arrived not working and the seller sent a second...letting me keep the first too. Later I found that the first just needed to be cleaned out better so I kept it as a spare.
