    Default putn discs on the rear

    ive been thinking bout it my rear wheels look really empty with out discs on the rear, beacuse my old vl had them on im thinking it will b a easy swap.... am i right?

    I'd go the 1" master cylinder just to stiffen up the feel. Handbrake cable is a must too.

    I think if you just change to the discs it spits it out a little bit wider. But you can grind away a bit of the axle I believe.

    Thats the one... Makes the wheel base a touch wider.. But it can be fixed with a grinder I believe.
