Twin disc set up

#1 PostAuthor: jimmock » Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:52 am

Guyz,

I have always had a want to twin disc my 73 Z1.
I feel it looks a lot better.

What would I expect to pay for all the items needed, if indeed these items are available?

73's have six hole mount disc's. Thinner discs didnt start until 77 ish and are only available as 4 hole mounts. So you will need another 6 hole disc not 2 thinner 4 hole discs. This will add unsprung weight but not really noticable when riding.

Yep, always nice to be able to stop better and looks nicely balanced - this is my mate Dave's Agrati imported 73 UK Z1 (now sold) with what is believed to be the factory set up.
