[loverobot]

does anyone know what bits i would need for a conversion of my 600ss to twin discs up front?

is the 900ss rhs compatible with the 600ss left hand side and what other mods would be required?

if anyone has done this whats the approx cost and was the result worth it?

Thanks

I have a 1996 600ss

It is possible, you'll need:

1) original 600ss RH fork leg with lugs
2) Master cylinder for twin disk bike
3) RH caliper
4) New brake lines
5) RH disc

Depends on who you source the parts from, but it could be anywhere from £200-£350.

I use a brembo radial master cyl on a single disk with a brembo billet caliper, and it's easily enough for road and racing, tricker than the standard setup, better feel, and cheaper. Drop me a line if you want a hand sourcing parts, or questions on setup.

Cheers,

I've done this on my 600ss and it was very easy.

Bought a pair of calipers off eBay (40mm spacing off an old 916) for £41.
Bought a pair of disks off Ali, which came from eBay, for £60.
Bought a new pair of forks (with the additional lug) off eBay.de for £113.
Bought a 916 master cylinder with braided hoses off eBay for £52, then sold the briaded hoses off it for £34.95.

I already had a pair of ACU compliant twin lines which I bought off Rattler for £40, so these went on.

Nice and easy - if I'd sold the original disk, brake system (m/c, line and caliper) and the forks then I'd probably have halved the cost.

i've done the same. 851 master cylinder/lever, caliper + disc, monster forks, all off ebay. can be fitted in an afternoon, looks much better but slows down the steering
