For twin disc you need a disc, caliper with bracket carefully spaced, remove brakelight switch and use standard banjo bolt then fit a gl1000 master cylinder with the brakelight switch on it.

Also you nee to modify the speedo drive plate

Hi, thanks for replying, do you need a diffferent fork leg for the right leg, and does the standard wheel take the other disc, thanks.

You dont need another leg, unless somebody has retrofitted 500 forks and you will only need longer bolts to go through both discs. If you PM me your direct email address i wrote a how to as a word doc years ago and if i can find it i will send it too you
