I was wondering if it was ok to switch your forks around and mount your brake calipers on the back side? I cant see any reason why not, just wondering.

It's being done all the time.
You might have to remake the solid section of the brakeline though(I had to when I converted to dual front brakes).
Also,I remember having an issue with the brackets.I think I had to flip them around.
I did this a few years back,so I can't remember exactly what went on,but I DID have to make my own solid brake lines.I remember this,because I bought a flaring tool.;)

Yeah, I did it on my 650 last year too, just wondering. I'm looking at completing the pair this summer. I like good brakes.
