    I'm just here,...

    ...because for once, I don't have to be.

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                                  Sorry, man. Just havin' a bit of fun because I was so excited that the help I got here led me to getting my bike running perfectly. Didn't mean to cause trouble.

                                      Actually, I can make amends,...

                                      ...I'm thinking about switching out my 19" front wheel with something slightly smaller. I don't need to go to 16" or anything, but 18" or 17" might be nice.

                                      What kind of problems would I encounter? Any way to make my speedometer/odometer still be consistent without switching it out? This whole project will have the dual benefit of allowing me to switch to dual front discs, although if it's a big deal, I have an extra 19" wheel with dual discs on it, just need the right fork with the caliper mount and a new master cylinder, correct?

                                          No such fork leg exists

                                          you'll need fork tubes from a dual disc bike, the smaller discs and calipers

                                              Sorry, that's what I meant. Fork tube.

                                              Hmmmm,...wouldn't the fork tubes from an earlier 1000 work? Some of those models had dual discs. The L 750's did too, but they had the leading axles, which I want no part of.

                                                          Am I wrong in thinking I can get the right side fork tube from a 1100 with the caliper and master cylinder? I've already got a 19" wheel from a 750L with the dual discs.

                                                          Am I missing something?
