Dual disc to single!
Ok after much thought, I'm losing the dual disc. I can't stand how it looks and I'm getting wheels! I will be replacing with a 13" rotor and 6 piston caliper so nobody freak out ha! Question, while I'm waiting for this stuff to come in can I slap a brake line on my current setup to just one side and ride it?? I've read that I SHOULD change the master cylinder but I want to ride this weekend and if it feels safe to me as far as stopping power I'm fine, but don't want to hurt anything on the bike. So can I leave everything on, hook one side up, and temporarily ride? Also, if anyone wants to trade me black lowers for my dual setup, let me know in a hurry!

this would be all easier to answer if we knew what bike it was coming off of, but yes, the hub will be fine.
if you'd like to sell the right side set up (caliper, lower) let me know i'm VERY interested. i'd trade you mine, but they're just painted black and starting to chip a little bit. they could easily be power coated though if you wanted to.

im in cali, but you've got *i believe* 41mm forks correct? I'm 08, so its 49mm.
oh well.
but yeah, you can definitely just pull the caliper and rotor and run a single line to remaining break. the larger bore MC shouldn't cause an issue for the brake. would be more of a problem doing it the other way, because the mc wouldn't be pushing enough fluid for both.
throw the whole right side set up in the classifieds, someone will buy it for sure. you'll wind up making way more than a right side lower will cost.

shouldn't have any problems.
really can't believe you wanna drop down to one brake though. I've wanted two up front since the day i got the bike. it stops like absolute ****.
