Hi Regis,

I don't know the complete answer to your question, but I would guess that you would have to change the complete front fork set-up to achieve a twin disc set-up. Even getting hold of a complete set of Sport forks has required people to do other changes as well. (Fyi, Ballacraine & Slinky have experience of this).

So your simple suggestion, I feel, would not be possible:
Differences in performance of the Adjustable Kayaba fork to the Non-adjustable Showa fork would give an imbalance; The Speedo drive is also on the opposite sides; Ect. etc...

Improved braking performance with a single disc is possible as there are the Beringer 4-pot & 6-pot calipers, and Harrison Billet 6-pot caliper available. It is best/essential to fit a floating disc with these. There is also an Italian member (Monello) who has fitted a Brembo caliper through using an adaptor. Beyond these calipers you have to be very careful as the caliper width can interfere with the wire spokes. I, myself, have a Beringer 4-pot to try in the near future, and I have also picked up a T-Bird Sport rim and Thunderbird/Bonneville Hub to build a 17" (aka Legend) front wheel alternative (I may need a Legend mudguard for this?).

I hope I have understood your question correctly?

Ciao, Geoff
