You have a 97 KLR with a dual piston front caliper?  If so somebody did some modifying to put that on.

Get us some pics of the set up.  Two piston calipers were not standard on the KLR.  You may be looking at a previous fork swap.  In that case, KLR calipers will not fit.

Not too many C-models in the US but it certainly could be possible.
