You can do anything if you're clever enough. A bolt on one, who knows? Probably not.  Why would you want to,  though? If it's anything like the rear brake on my 535 GT it's too much rear brake already. Id rather a tiny dirt bike caliper. It's too easy to stomp on the pedal and lock that brake. To each their own, though.

I thought the Interceptor had ABS ?

Good point though, the 650 does not seem like it has the weight or top speed to need twin calipers.

You ask valid question, why? But you make an invalid point. You can't lock the brakes. I have tried. ABS ;)

Righto. Im guessing it's something to do with Indian rider's fear of using the front brake. All good. Maybe you could fab up brackets to fit the front caliper on the back and switch the back one up front? That'd be a fun project.

Have no fear of using front brakes as my most of braking is by front brakes and use rear brakes rarely ????
