Okay, started messing with the xj1100 discs. They're bigger than the stock dual disc rotors. How much bigger? Big enough I worried they wouldn't fit.
that's a sizable difference, but I know I've seen these on other peoples bikes, so a test fit seemed necessary.
I put it on the wrong side on accident, but for trial purposes it is good. picked the front end up and the wheel spins seemingly drag free.
But man that's a tight fit.
on the far side if the rotor I was running the near side is the new disc. you can see the difference it makes in clearance.
While I was digging into the front end I cleaned up the right hand wheel spacer on the buffing wheel, removed the speedometer actuator fro the left hand side, replaced the dust boot, and went to install the hughes handbuilt speedometer delete. Like so any other custom parts it needed a little work to fit, in this case the ID wasn't uniform all the way through and it didn't want to go on the axle. some light work with some emery cloth and while I was at it the buffing wheel and it fits great. sorry no pics of this yet, but it does make the front end look better.
I'll snap some pics of it when I go to fix the rotors.
