A picture is worth a thousand words.
I'll take a picture and post when I get home from work this evening. Probably get rid of a bunch of confusion

Z1R's had them also. Just a factory thing. Different models used them for a fender bracket.
Production parts, multi fit.
I have a set ground off. Then I just looked in my junk pile and seen them on opposite sides.

The KZ900-B1 LTD has dual front disks with rear mounted calipers. Plus dual brake lines (with tee fitting) and larger 5/8" master cylinder (instead of the 14mm m/c used with single disc). And a slightly longer speedo cable.
Am thinking LTD dual disks are slightly thinner.
Dual disc system adds some unsprung weight.
Good Fortune!
...What are the single mounting tabs on the fork lowers on the opposite side of the caliper mounting tabs???
I'm looking into a dual disc conversion and I'd invert the forks to swing the calipers around so they are underneath the lowers.

What would go into inverting the forks? Just a longer speedo cable? You really wouldn't NEED a longer one, would you?
