Yes I am doing this for looks. I am going with a 13" rotor and a 6 piston caliper. I know there is plenty of debates about this subject but I only posted the question because I wanted some feedback about the feel of the lever.

I ran a single disc set up on my 07 SG with the stock 11/16 bore mater cylinder and all though the lever was hard/tight it stopped fine... when I got the 2010 SG I again went with a single sided brake and switched to a 9/16 bore from a 2010 Delux and the lever feels like it should. By the way... both bike had the stock caliper and rotor... never have had one problem stopping! It is your bike... make it the way you want it! Cheers!

not sure about a single stock dia front rotor but with a single 13" rotor/6 piston pm caliper setup i could lock up the front tire - so the braking power is there...
now if i was to ride this bike hard around twisties and be hard on the brakes then id say yes duals are needed.. brake fade

Sorry to bug you but what is your reason for not going with the 9/16" master cylinder? Did you just get use to the different lever feel? I don't want to buy the different master cylinder if I don't need to.
