Moto Rapido don't sell an off the shelf kit as such for the floating brake, but they can make it up from the parts list that they noted after several people asked for it when I posted something about it a while back.
I still think that you would struggle to do better as a starting point than the standard floating calliper hanger and bushes (For 17mm axle).
I understand your thinking re the pivot point geometry, but the rose joint mounts very near the centre of the disc swept area and I can't see that making any difference.
You can put the forward mount just about where you like with an appropriate plate and I think that it is significant that Ducati put it where they did on the 888/851 and all subsequent versions. There must be a very good reason why they put the rod out of parallel with the arm, I wonder if it is anything to do with the rising rate suspension that the Monster inherited from the 888/851?
But then they supplied it as an aftermarket kit for the SS models which did not have rising rates?
I can assure you that the set up works well as it is, but thinking out loud, I am wondering if flipping the front bracket over would put the pivot into parallel with the arm?? I must measure up. I have never seen it mounted or illustrated the other way up.
