Topic: dual disc conversion for 750 link no good?

[DH]

Anyone know where the conversion thread for twin front disc went? The links for the 750 and 500/550 don't work any more.
thx..

There are a few different posts that talk about dual disc conversions. I've had better luck searching the site with google rather than the site's own search function. You can limit google's search to just these forums by following your search terms with site:forums.sohc4.net
Here's a link to save you a little time for this search: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=dual+disc+site:forums.sohc4.net

EDIT  The article on SALOCAL is the same as above.

This is the easiest thing and I don't know why no ever brings it up. Get a front end from a 77 or 78 Supersport. Easiest swap there is. No alignment to do and those calipers stop better than the floating ones.

Because a complete front end from those years is a lot harder to find than an extra caliper arm, caliper, and rotor from almost all the years.

Yup, and I''d go that route if not for the fact that I'm trying to up grade and retain stock appearance. Thanks for that note. On a related note..
Does anyone have a good way to get the "reverse flair" fitting out of an earlier 750 caliper? If I'm right, this fitting needs to be pulled out and re installed in the hole where the bleeder USED to be in the REPLACEMENT caliper for the RIGHT side.
So far, I have been unsuccessful using a cut off finish nail.

I used a screw. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,140833.msg1699993.html#msg1699993

But this might make them unusable. I'm not sure if you can get these things still. I would probably try PB blaster and propane or MAPP gas and then the nail approach again.

Thanks for the caliper shots dave. I wasn't sure what the whole thing looked like. I'm going to try salvage another one from a junk
caliper I have, in case I mess up and destroy the current one.

What about the cover?
Is there a cover for the right rotor?
Or possible to modify the OEM, left cover? Better if there are dual covers available that look similar and fit.
It will look better with cover for each rotor. My bike need better brakes with OEM look.

I agree.  I wish there was a shield/guard available. Nobody makes one for the right side as far as I know. Not sure how to modify
a left one to work.

Check out the links below 

Branden,
I had a choice to either modify the speedo drive plate to fit the rotor center, or, modify the rotor carriage to fit the speedo drive plate.  Both are shown in this post.  I chose to modify the speedo drive plate as the wheel I bought off a forum member came with one attached    The mod took maybe an hour with a dremel and hand files.  A sloppy fit here is desireable so the drive plate doesnt bind.
I must have read these two posts 10 times while sourcing parts to be sure I got all I needed and had the mod process in my  mind.

Godffery offers the rotor carriage mod if you get your rotors through him.

Shawn @ Slingshot Cycles made my lines.  Ordered Wednesday. Came Monday.
Right under my lower triple there is a clip where the brake lines sit. 
i'll run both through there to keep them up and off the tire.
i'm running 2 lines up to the MC.  not a splitter like other bikes.

None available for the right side.  I bet someone with a 3d printer and time on their hands could make one!

It's pretty tight as is without the cover--never mind two of them.

Tom, your dual brakes look really beautiful! The rotors fits very well, like designed for the bike.
I'll try without cover.
