  Nice set-up! How much work went into getting the discs to fit up? It looks like you fabricated brackets for the calipers?

Wow, that's incredibly cool.

Oh please, tell me that those rotors are off of an existing bike and not some super-pricey aftermarket items! What sort of modifications did you have to make to the rotor carriers/hub to make them fit? I'd love to hear the details of this swap and try it out on my GL1000 front end.

I had to modify the carrier of the disc to fit the CB hub.

   That's all we get? :'(

Yes but what is the origin of the rotors? You say they are floating and 320mm.

Cagey with the details, eh? If you're worried about someone going into business and stealing your idea, how about PMing me the details? I'm really interested in trying something like this on my GL1000 front end.
