Agree with most of what Paul (Paynep) posted, except the brake bit.
Again I would like to point out that some 600SS only come with calliper lugs on one leg. Fit a cast Disc and 4 pad calliper to one of these along with a aeroquip hose and braking will be hugely improved.
Also bear in mind that on older bikes (some could be 10 years old) the discs will have a fair bit of wear by now and may need replacing and I think you'll find a new EBC prolite would make a sensibly priced replacement.
