is this a second mount...


if so, sorry rattler, showing my complete lack of technical knowlegde again!! So, what is needed to add a second disc? new wheel? Just a disk Disc? will master cylinder need changing? Will another monster wheel with dual disc fit straight in?

Even if I dont race I think I will do this anyway because the brakes are just soooo bad, especially with my weight transference!

[rockhopper]

Yes thats it. You just need a disk, caliper, lines and perhaps a master cylinder.

[nelly]

Yep. You'll need the master cylinder to.

On the single/twin setup, one other thing to bear in mind is fork twist. It does happen on single disc setups. Remember the old fork braces on the 250 LC's............
You go banging a 4 pad on there with a good disc etc. and it'll increase.
IMO, I'd only ever consider a twin setup for anything more than a quick blast around the lanes, never mind racing...................
Watch the mounting centers of the calipers to. The early bikes ran the 40mm mounts and you'd need a spacer to fit a 4 pad to these..........unless you got a GP billet item

"unless you got a GP billet item"-but that wouldn't be legal under the Rules now would it Nelly!

Probably not eh John???

seriously though, how would the rules stand fitting a 4 pad onto an older 600? You'd need to use an adaptor bracket. Would that be allowed??

[bradders]

...so do I just get a master cylinder from another monster which has twin setup as standard? and, probably bumb question, are calipers left or right fitting or universal?

[nelly]

yep. You just need a master cylinder off any twin disc Duke................and yes the calipers are handed

[bradders]

cheers Nelly....better get searching ebay...

if I upgrade my sps to radial master, could I use the standard one on the monster?
