First Generation Ascots > The Thumper Years: Modified To Full Customs
Dutch FT project
FT500R:
Although my work is taking up most of my time, it does have it's benefits.
I have a buck or two to spend on my ascot!
I already had the xs650 spoked wheel which I am planning to install, but I didn't have any nice brakes yet...
Tada:
These are dual yamaha fzr1000 320mm brakediscs that fit the hub perfectly.
I've also ordered a set of nice ducati multistrada brembo brake calipers to complete the setup.
Now I just have to find time to install all my goodies...
J6G1Z:
Very nice!!!
That will look sweet on the front.

Luke:
x2! That looks sweet!
FT500R:
indeed 2 discs :D
coupled to these calipers:
J6G1Z:
Ooowie!!! Those are sexy!
Now you need one of these: http://www.brembo.com/en/bike/Racing/Racing/Pages/Master-Cylinders.aspx LOL!
Actually I used the front master from a Ducati Monster on my FT/CBR hybrid. It has the "coffin" style of box shaped fluid reservoir & even has a mirror mount in the correct location with the correct size/thread for the Ascot mirrors.
You will definitely stop just fine with just one of those disk brake assemblies on the front. The dual disk is just icing on the cake.
