    I'd say they are most likely the same caliper as the newer type that will work with the new style bracket and spacer kit but I've not tested them directly. Same with the DL650 calipers.
    The main reason for going with EX650 calipers is that you seem to be able to get much newer stock plus the master cylinder is a good choice if you also need a replacement for that.

    You'll need rotor spacers too, they also act as a drilling jig for the F3 rotor as you have to re-drill the bolt circle between the existing holes.

      Are these things you have come up with or something available online?

        It's something I came up with and bought in bulk as a service to forum members...

        There are some on my shelf if you want to go that route.
