In my research for taller handlebars, the most expensive part of the
"conversion" will be the brake lines for the dual disc brakes on my 2006 883R.

A few questions for you all:

-does the second brake actually help braking that much.  almost all other HD's
(and metric cruisers) have only a single front brake.

-I know the master cylinder is different from single and dual models.  I know
you can buy the whole master-cylinder + handle, but don't have a part number
handy.  Anyone have that number?  Approx. price?

-Can I use my current master cylinder?  Will it be "too strong" for a
single setup?

-how much weight would this save?  I know its probably negligible.


I'm just weighing my options.  If dual discs aren't buying me anything, I may
"ditch" one of them.  A single longer brake line costs allot less than doing
a 3
line plus tee setup for dual discs.  Plus, I may be able to get a little
for the
setup for someone who wants dual.

I may wind up leaving it as is, but trying to plan out my motorcycle related
expenditures for the upcoming year.  I exceeding 2006's budget infinitely... (I
didnt' have a bike until July 2006.  I'm hoping that my 2008 budget will
be able
to include a 1200 conversion...


(For those who say I'm desecrating my 883R, that ship has sailed.  Other than
the blacked-out engine and dual discs, there is not much "R" left to it.  As my
only bike, it has to be more practical and comfortable.)
