The EX500 Ninja, and many of the Kaw cruisers run that caliper solo.
I'm doing a brake upgrade on my CB500, but sticking with a single caliper. I bought a new EX500 master cylinder to replace the stocker...

Unfortunately it's not on the bottom of the part. It's an aftermarket replacment, I guess: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120177599888

AOD,
Those guys offer a pretty good assortment of aftermarket masters, for a variety of applications. I've looked at them before, and I think the real question is what to do for replacement parts/re-build kits.
8Track,
Just got myself a set of Ninja 2-piston calipers to mount to my 1000 forks, as well. I don't have any reservations about the caliper fastener loadings...I dont think that a properly torqued/proper grade, 3/8th"(approx) fastener would shear in this situation. The bolt are as tough as the aluminum fork boss'.

And remember folks, this mod is for off-road use only and should never be performed on an actual motorcycle used by actual people on actual roads. This thread is for entertainment purposes only.
(The hole spacing on the bottom link ended up being 40mm, the thickness of the spacer will be the same as the fork boss)

As for the guy selling master cylinders, I just wish I knew what the bore size was. I know it's coming from a single caliper bike, just like mine, but it's going to have more pistons than my single on the CB.
Regardless, the MC on the bike now is junk, so this will be a definite improvement, even if the master cylinder ratio is off.

Thanks, 8T...*fortunately, I'm not an actual person who will ever do any actual riding*.
AOD, I was referring to the ebay guy that always has a handful of aftermarket M/C's for auction...my comment was to the point of rebuilding them years from now. Maybe they use some accessible OEM parts. Now we're back to "what's the piston dia.?

8track. I just realized that you only show pics of the right caliper. And realized that I only have a left rotor. Do you have the same thing going on on the other side???? I found a caliper online for the right side but will it work for the left? Do they even make this kinda caliper for the left side?????

No, a right side caliper will not work on the left side.
(You have to be able to bleed it after all.)
If you are attempting to put this on a single disk bike, my adapter set up won't work. The upper mounting lug will be too high. You can still make an adapter, but it will have to be able to relocate the upper mount as well. Not just the lower.
