Sliders shipped yesterday (something about hd being backed up due to labor day)

Be in Monday

Last outstanding item is the three lines

More pics / write up to come

Ghost

 

Sliders in..., new EBC brake pads also in (front and back - may as well change em all out)

Just ordered 3 brake lines (MC to the splitter..., each side of the splitter to each caliper

I'll throw together a comprehensive parts list..., w/ sources.., P/Ns & prices

============
Side note

I could have done w/ only the right slider - but wanted to ensure they match (weathering.., fading.., rock chips - being what it is)

Ghost

 

Did not price out "bike specific" stuff - that'll vary depending on one's set up

Can also reduce cost by not buying 2 new calipers.., or the left front slider

** Extended price does not include shipping or applicable tax

The complete ensemble of bobbles & beads (sans the brake lines - which have shipped)




============
I'm planning to post before.., then after pics of....

MC install
Wheel retrofit (adding the second rotor)
Fork rebuild w/ LRS sliders
Completed upgrade

Anyone desire any exploded pics of above - speak up - otherwise sticking w/ the before and after

I'll certainly answer any questions regardless

=========

This retrofit is pretty straight forward - requiring only copious amounts of beer & good tunes

Special tools (this off the top of my head so if I forget something - consider the source)

Red loctite
Torque wrench
Seal driver
Long *** allen / hex wrench
Way to measure the fork oil height
Fork clamp is pretty handy
Way of bleeding brakes
And dare I say - service & parts manuals (I've done forks dozens of times - still refer to the bible every time - and so should you)
12 point.., 1/4" socket
Rest is just various wrenches / ratchets/ sockets - and maybe..., a hammer or two

==========

Side note

Couple of parts I didn't list in previous post (plain forgot)

Bought all new banjo bolts..., and 2 banjo fittings for the front calipers

Got all new crush washers (2 per fitting)

And bought all new caliper bolts (nothing fancy - just new ones)

Bout all I can think of for now

got shims? just in case

my set up is not yours but, i ended up with shims on the left. yours may have a better fit

 

First I've seen the EPFA pad. What are your current/outgoing pads? Curious to hear how they compare.

I have to use Lyndall pads (Extreme, in my case) to protect my lifetime rotor warranty, but I did seriously consider EBC pads anyway. I use them on everything else.

 

I do - of all various lengths... and round stock to build some if necessary

Runnin 3/8" now (with the FB caliper)

Ghost

 

Love em - have on the MX's as well - never experienced any rotor rash

Current pads are EPFA's - changed over to them little over a year ago

Before that - had a softer compound pad - sucked

=========

Aside

Diggin what you've been doing


Ghost

 

Thanks for putting this together. Dual front rotors is on my winter to-do list.

 

Best laid plan..., goes straight down the *******..., once the first shot fired


Wheel has both rotors installed - had to cut an extra lone allen wrench in half - to make a "wrench" to fit the allen head bolts - securing the two halves of the hub (cut an allen wrench in half - put a socket on one end in order to use a torque wrench to secure the allen head bolts hiding in the recessed holes - southern engineering at its finest - it worked)

Forks rebuilt w/ LRS sliders - no issues there

Wheel spacers - no issue - just needed to create the right combination so the wheel dead nuts centered w/ the fender

Caliper spacers = ended up w/ 5/8" on left side..., 3/4" on right - now need longer caliper bolts - which are on order (ARP SS)

These are M10 x 1.5 x however long they need to be - in case anyone wondering

==========


Splitter to caliper lines - 2" too long - shorter ones on order

MC to splitter brake line - 4" too long - shorter one on order

Evidently..., and obviously - I can't read a tape measure for ****

================

MC and splitter bolted right up - no issues

==============

I'll post pics once the dust clears
