twin front discs over single? revamping front end for street...
I need some advice guys.
Im revamping my front end and am thinking of using parts I already have. bear in mind i dont have wheels yet (one damaged/one sold) and will be riding on sealed roads, and definately need better brakes than standard for racing in the twisty bits... do you think a set of zx6r forks/calipers and front wheel would be ok on the xtr? I like the idea of the zx6r wheels (F&R), as I can pick up a set cheap and already have the calipers & forks. the forks I can have easily extended to fit. maybe run a fork brace though as the forks are only 41mm). even the bearings and triples are the same (just need to lengthen the stem). i was a little concerned that the rear wheel set up may be too wide but I can check that out later. so zx6r wheels / forks / twin disc front? or: still run the zx6r forks but fit a pair of kawasaki balius zr250 wheels. The balius has a single disc front with a 310mm disc (from memory), the xtr is 300mm. the balius has a smaller rear disc @ 230mm as opposed to xt's 240. the chain offset is about the same, give or take 3-5mm... so what do you guys think? |
