if a 4 pot caliper you want to use won't fit, doesnt matter how good it is sitting on the shelf....  :twocents:  i have a 4 pot brembo sitting on the shelf right now myself for later use on a project. i get it, but i mean, has to fit.
Atually, I never measured a stock RD caliper vs a Brembo or other 4 pot caliper. Still, my gut feeling is that if any 38-48 mm opposed 2 piston caliper fits, then there ought to be possible to find a 25-3 mm 4 piston caliper that fits as well.
Like mentioned before, I went from oem dual front discs and single piston (sliding) calipers on my XS650 to a single 320 and Brembo 4 pot. Those stock XS calipers are pretty rubbish IMHO, compared to the stock RD and 72-76 XS/TX calipers,  which are all the same.

i can assure you a typical brembo won't fit on a stock rotor. I've tried. I probably have 30 calipers of various types in my possession.  and yes, the slider single pistons are freaking garbage.   .
