need info on upgrading too dual disk front brake was created by Stormin Norman
can someone help me with my "76" 900 A4 . i want to get a
dual disk front stopper on my bike and would love to get
the scoop on what works best? also a steering head damper
that works with an oil cooler and just what oil cooler
is the best set up...i ride my Kawaker daily and get the hard long look almost every day!

sincerly

the easiest thing to do is find a complete ltd frontend with all the brake parts and bolt the stuff onto your frontend/wheel B) why do you need a steering stabilizer?

Still recovering,some days are better than others.

I have new spokes and rims that i like. it gives the bike that classic look and would like to keep them. my rear drum is polished up and looks real nice so i wanna keep it as well.so just looking for more stopping power up front, i live up the mountain outside of Denver . man the down hill roads here require good stopping.i am brand new to this forum and look forward getting help and giving help whenever i can.will be posting up a picture of my KZ soon...thanks for your time..Stormin Norman

I upgraded my '75 to dual discs last year.The master cylinder for the single disc has a 1/2" bore,the dual disc has a 5/8" bore.I used the master off of an '82 wrecker I had and it works fine.Braided lines improve feel.Good luck bleeding it.They seem to be notoriously bad.I finally bought a vacuum pump and got it done.Jerry
