I got the grommets (and probably the shoulder bolts) from McMaster.  Here's the other piece of the puzzle if you are wanting to do this and mount to the stock passenger foot peg location.

Quote from: teazer on December 12, 2025, 03:20:15 PMI used an alloy repo caliper with alloy pistons instead.


That is what's on the bike with the drilled dual rotors I posted on the first page.

350guy, I thought about it last night after I posted, I might be giving you wrong info on what you are wanting to do.

 The TX lowers are the forks to get dual disc on a RD but I think you are going to have the same speedo problem as with flipping factory forks around for the caliper in the back.  You will just gain the caliper on the same side as stock.  Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you Oxford. Just the outer or the internal/guts as well?

You should just need the outer leg and swap the RD internals in.  I can't remember if the TX internals (or inner fork leg length) were the same or not. The fork lowers were basically the same except for the caliper lug on the left leg for dual disc.

Here is some inspiration if you are still going the OEM route.  100 3/8" holes per rotor and they were also thinned down to around 5mm.

Looks like maybe some Kawi cylinders with a reed valve conversion sitting on the bench.  2 out of 3 heads as well.

Nice job.  I did a custom mount and similar style damper on my RD.

Quote from: 2t Fan on May 20, 2025, 09:21:22 PMare the spares available for these kits ? OE rebuild kit is suitable ?

I'm not sure what interchanges or if all the aftermarket calipers are the same.

With that said, I have the aluminum aftermarket calipers on my bike and got aluminum pistons for them from 202Eric.  There was a difference in the pistons between an OEM caliper and the aftermarket ones.  Probably not much size wise but enough to make it a problem.

I saw it got marked sold.  I was hoping someone on here got it but I figured we would have seen pics by now.

This bike would make a sweet little brother sitting next to a RZ.

Not mine.  Looks like an interesting bike and probably fun to ride.
