I am wanting some info on this mod and how much it cost and options. thanks
one front rotor mod info
- Thread starter 02bluebusa
- Start date
I think it is for weight savings at the strip, or to show off custom wheels.

I have steel braided galfer brake lines already. what else do I need? I read somewhere you cant buy just any master cylinder?

so what all did you have to replace and buy to do the mod?

Aside from my aftermarket wheels, nothing. I took off the right caliper and took off the brake line for it. I installed my galfer braided line, bled the system and that was it. You may have to buy a block off plate for it though if you are running the factory wheel. I did that with my gen one before upgrading the wheels. It's was about $20. Because I have RC component wheels they set it up for the single side system so no other modifications were needed.
It can be free, and then if you sell the rotor and caliper, you should definitely cover the cost of a line 
Why reduce 75% of your braking by 50%? What does it accomplish for y'all?
Just curious as I don't understand the 1 lb saved to braking lost?

I honestly don't feel the loss in braking ability. Did I lose some? I'm sure it did but I don't ride to the extreme where an additional rotor is going to do something that one wouldn't. I did mine for the look to show off my wheels and nothing more. So far I have been enable to stop when i needed to.

Hey Blanca
Have you ever ran a sportbike with one front rotor?
I ran a GSXR dragbike for over 4 years with one rotor running 9.20's at near 150MPH and been at some chitty tracks with a very short shut down area and NEVER had a braking issue! Have you ever counted the front brake rotors on Ryan Schnitz worlds fastest street bike Busa stopping over 200 MPH........ ONE!!
Please do tell us your braking issues you have expierenced with running a sportbike with one front brake setup

I believe the advantage to running 2 front rotors would be keeping the fluid rotors and pads cooler in extreme road racing conditions. Thats about it.
For the average guy/gal riding on the street I dont see the brake fluid reaching boiling temps and rotors turning cherry red. If he like the look of the front rotor
wear it out by all means you wont have an issue with stopping power. I just wouldnt race in any upcoming GP races with and pros with a one rotor sportbike.
Just waiting on dadofthree to chime here with something like "I have no expierence with this someone will be along"

I can slow down in almost the same amount of time with 1 as I could with 2. I know my braking won't be as good as it was before but I have a long shutdown if something does go wrong so im not that worried about it. I only run my bike at the track so it's not a huge deal to me.
