Click the free info link in my sig line and read thru the document entitled, Dual_Disc_Conversion.

That should answer most of the questions.

well are you looking to go to a oem+ swap like using a latter 77-78 cb750F front end or are you trying to swap on a modern front end?

I'm looking to use stock parts and add a second disc.
I've done the full modern fork swap on my cafe bike and that really works well, but this is a stock bike.

Just clicked back here, its nice to know someone finds that page useful. The only email I ever got were from a 2 or 3 guys with documents or corrections, and a VJMC President form Norway or something asking if he could post the link... If anyone has some cool stuff to add there, just email the address listed, or the one in my profile here.

Cheers Gents.
