Very cool! I've been thinking about doing the same thing but I'd like to keep the underslung caliper.

hey chuck, do you know offhand the distance between the stock rear caliper's mounting bolts?

edit: I'm glad you painted your undertail to match!

I will measure it tomorrow for you.

Thanks, I'm curious if one of those 10oz brembo units will fit.

But to answer you question, no it is not a direct bolt on. Depending on which brembo caliper the span is 84mm for most of the ducati style 2 piston units and the million dollar itty bitty 2 piston unit has a even smaller span but I don't know the measurement.

The brembos mount differently. On the kawa caliper the bolts thread through the carrier and into the caliper itself. On the brembos it is just a through hole and the caliper is bolted to the carrier.

In my search I found that several places sell mounts for different bikes but of course nothing for the 12. I think one form another bike may fit but the disc diameter will be different as the 12 uses a dinner plate compared to the liter bike rotors. And you would have to compare it to some in stock.

Just found this:

65mm mount Race 64MM

84mm mount HP 84MM

Current Rear 2 Piston Calipers

I think most of there are 84MM The measurement given is the piston size

Understood. I've seen brackets like these floating around

for 10rs ect, but who knows what would be involved to make them fit. I believe the 10r uses a 27mm axle vs our 24mm.
Regarding the caliper, what would stop someone from tapping the brembo itself and enlarging the mounting bracket holes?

Hrm, I'll continue to toy with the idea, but for the time being I'll shift those funds to my S4R savings account.
