So Honda forks in the 70’s for some reason had the calipers leading in front of the fork legs, but virtually every other motorcycle has the calipers located behind the fork legs.
I was doing some research about this and it seems that if the caliper is located behind the fork leg, this may improve handling.
Why not just slide the forks out from the trees of any of our 70’s Honda bikes, and swap them around so the caliper is now located behind the fork leg?
Does anyone know if this would help with handling while braking? Or is this a stupid idea?
