One Rotor, One Caliper up front
I want to run on rotor and one caliper on the front of my bike. i just got the bike chromed and want to expose more of the wheele. I was at the Penn-Ohio Sportbike Challenge this past sunday and saw a ZX-12 Dragbike running the same setup. I talked to the guy very briefly because he was getting ready to race but he told me i need a new banjo bolt and new hose...does anyone know where to get them.....that is to run the one rotor, one caliper setup up front

No one wants you hurt! the only "1" setup that would be safe for serious riding is the Rim Discs then you have a 15 inch front brake!

You want to run one rotor for street riding or dragracing? I wouldn't advise you to do it for the street.

You can buy a custom hose at any hydraulic shop. Just dont tell them its for brakes. (liability thing) Measure from the reservoir to the caliper or use a string. Typical cost would be less than $50. You can reuse the stock banjo bolts most likely.

You must be about nothing more then BLING BLING, you will never ever be able to stop in any kind of race setting. Don't think about trying to go to a track day, and you could do nothing more then stuff yourself at the gap.
If posing is your deal rock on if not don't be stupid...

I plan on running just one rotor on my dragbike.I would highly reccomend running two if you are going to use your bike on the street. It's all about safety.

I have been running one for a couple of months. Putting the other rotor back on SOON!! Doesn't go any faster and sure as hell doesn't stop any easier!! You can use the factory rear brake line like I did since I had a longer line for my extended arm. Fits great....if that is what you want to do
