Don't get me wrong....but if you're worried about how to modify the front spindle how will you cope with a mono-shock conversion? There's more to it than just a few brackets welded on to the frame by all accounts. Check out threads on here where folk are attempting it....interesting information from those what know better.
Carry on chap.... ;D
I'm trying to keep the single rotor as a tribute to the original look, so probably I'll just cut off the extra mount.
Also I'm not worried about modifying the front spindle/hub/etc, I just don't want to reinvent the wheel so to speak :
Just a bit off topic but here's a summary of my last project...
And I'm a mechanical engineer, so it's less about coping and more about what do I think I'd like better 8)
Plus I don't have access to a machine shop, so if I can swap out bearings instead of having to turn a new axle, that'd be ideal.

This is before steering stem was modified but with stock wheel assembled and CBR600 rotors/calipers (with adapters)
I used a Suzuki Katana front axle and made spacers for it to fit into the oversized holes in fork bottoms. The spacers allow wheel to be properly centered (slid to side in pic to show how it was done)
I've seen those pictures before What diameter axle does the front ends you used have? The front end I got has a 25mm diameter so the ends are even larger than that.
I don't think I'll be able to find an axle that both fits in the forks and fits in the wheel unless I can use larger bearings - which I don't know if there's the space in the hub.
Does anyone have pictures/measurements of the inside of the hub without the bearings installed?
